We had 2 fabulous nights out in London this month!

I spent 15 days not crafting because of the kitchen renovation. We had ‘kitchen in the dining room’ which is where I normally sew and scrapbook.

Hope you are back in your kitchen properly very soon and then you can craft again - it is all going to look very lovely once it is finished. Looks like you have had a great month
Linda this is an absolute tour de force of a Month in Numbers post! Love all the detailed statistics which make up the fabulous glimpse into your May! Glorious!
You wouldn't have dared to *not* go out with people who'd travelled 6000 miles to get there would you? And such great locations for your celebrations too.
And I'd noticed the orange/coral even before you mentioned it. I was going to comment on how your 'me made' outfits looked like a perfect coordinated capsule wardrobe. I guess you really know what you like and - better still - you know how to make it!!
Your month is safely pinned to the Month in Numbers board with the other number crunchers now: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/
Thanks so much for a great contribution to the series and here's to a bright [probably orange if May was anything to go by] and happy June.
Julie :-)
Lots happened for you in May,Linda...kitchen renovations seem to take forever, don't they?

That's a splendid set of statistics - I love how you've extracted all the relevant numbers. And very well done and congratulations to Maurice - a lovely photo of you both as a momento. Clearly, a High Society month!
