It was their Final World Tour, with their last show in Johannesburg at The Dome. Wow, I was blown away, don't have words to describe how wonderful it was. <br /><br />Cliff and The Shadows (Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett) dominated the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s, enjoying both solo and joint success. Between them they achieved no less than 19 number one hits including Living Doll, Bachelor Boy, Summer Holiday, The Young Ones, Apache and Wonderful Land. <br /><br />An absolutely stunning evening, well worth the wait to see them.Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560697986183899964noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58437602561498384.post-42021764458157650202010-03-01T16:57:00.002+02:002010-03-01T17:00:21.914+02:00Spring Exchange<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpaapkBHa3w9oSWId3oMQ9p7etiLeTZTJDJt4f_91QKWFzGvk_l2bQEOkTujeYOTvXiWQLSmWhoL91spNF6_JdM9OpEHNvWliYrprCZzbLcoKmtMaI0Ba7EcYcfSHDVqZ-_uGst3wxrQ/s1600-h/Spring+Exchange"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpaapkBHa3w9oSWId3oMQ9p7etiLeTZTJDJt4f_91QKWFzGvk_l2bQEOkTujeYOTvXiWQLSmWhoL91spNF6_JdM9OpEHNvWliYrprCZzbLcoKmtMaI0Ba7EcYcfSHDVqZ-_uGst3wxrQ/s200/Spring+Exchange" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443680210345428498" /></a><br />At last my Spring Exchange has arrived in Canada and now I can share it with you.

Sad, sad state of affairs, when you don't have time to do a little bit of stitching. Hopefully it will be better this week. I just signed up for two more exchanges, really looking forward to them. Have to put the finishing touches to the Spring exchange and finish up the Easter one.
