I live in Michigan and work during the day. Is there any chance that the zoom class will be recorded and we could view it later?
Thank you in advance.
Dear Dani, There won’t be a recording of the class – sorry you’ll miss it. Bests, Rachel
So pleased to learn about this workshop. Scotland – the very word takes me back decades to time at the University of Edinburgh – and the beauty of the people, the accents, the landscape – so value events suchas these and as I am traveling at the moment . . .
time traveling too!
Aw! Glad to hear this Anne! …even though I’ve lived in Scotland for most of my life, I still don’t have a Scottish accent…..
That’s okay if you don’t!!!! It will still will be fine. But you could learn . . . .not to late. I could learn too!
If you see my name drop off at the beginning it will be because I am hopping on my sister in law’s computer – not sure how all this works. Since cyberspace is short, I don’t need to watch in a different space. Ha ha I sometimes want my own stuff right at hand . . .
Hope it all went smoothly, whichever computer you were on Anne!
Oh no, I’ve just been disconnected and I can’t come back… So sad 😢
Oh that is very sad – sorry to hear that Sabyne X
Dear Rachel,
thank you so much for these heart warming ideas in this workshop!
It inspired lots of further ideas for variations of wishes.
And now my wish for you: I wish you a delightful Christmas and many stars that sparkle alongside your way through a fresh new year!
Warm wishes from Germany to the Shetland Islands which I’d love to visit for a long time now!
Christiane
Ah dear Christiane! Hurray for warming ideas and further variations of wishes – that’s great. I hope you make it to Shetland sooooon. Many thanks! Rachel
Oh bother, I was late back and have missed it. Boo! Another time hopefully.
Gina
Dear Gina, Sorry you missed it and hope you’ll make it next time, R X
Really sad that there is no recording. I clicked on the link at the wrong time. Guess i didn’t convert the time zone properly. I was so eager to attend.
Dear Angele, So sorry that you missed the workshop and send you all the wishes, and season’s greetings, Rachel
