I had ever intension of keeping my blog going whilst I was away but Budapest totally overwhelmed me with it's beauty and I just fell in love. I spent the first week wondering around in a daze visiting museums, sitting at street cafes and enjoying the gloriously warm weather.
This was the view from our hotel room high up on the 9th floor, there was a lovely wide window ledge that just asked for you to just sit and stare. We left the curtains wide open at night and woke up to the beautiful sight of the early morning sun shining on the Buda Castle.
Mid week I discovered the Grand Market with it's abundant displays of vegetables and lots of meat and bright red sausages. As you take in the sight it's easy to forget the turmoil that has beset this city during it's life
There was a hundred opportunities to take lots of source photos of huge stacks of vegetables, hanging displays and sickly piles of meat. I've had great fun on my return playing with these pictures, I restrained myself from taking a full hundreds worth but I've got plenty! I am sharing my pics on Instagram as Mollymeg69, this a great iPhone app that's used by amateur photographers to quickly share their creations.
I hope you've enjoyed this little taste of Budapest now I need to get back to my City and Guilds. I have all the materials and ideas I just now need to get down to actual doing!
Take a look at my stash for my 'Give me Shelter' mud building hand embroidery series.
