Rubber Stamps And Rubber Wheels!

Thank you to my lovely friends Katie and Erica (Free Range Legs) who recently lent me their bike trailer. I used it for the first time to carry materials to Salt Cafe for the rubber stamp workshop. Enjoying the view of the docks along the way!

Thank you Al at Salt Cafe for providing delicious cups of tea and cake at while we explored the world of rubber stamping!
