Flippin Freezing Winter Solstice

Flippin heck we had a fab time last night but blimey it was cold. 

We took young Master Twigs on his surprise Christmas treat to our local light railway (how on earth we kept it quiet until an hour before  I have no idea).

We went on the Twilight Santa Express at 6pm, there was a beautiful full moon, we caught the train to go and see Santa and the snow glittered under the lights on top of the train.  

The icicles were amazing and the hot choccy and mulled wine just the thing.

We saw the big man and Twiglet was delighted.
I love our little Christmas rituals, seeing things through the eyes of a five year old makes everything just magic!!

 We had a bit of a delay as the water tower had frozen up so the next train got stuck on the lines, but eventually got home at 8.45pm for hot baths and hot buttered toast, so a late night indeed for Master Twigs.

 Mr Twigs checked the temperature when we got in and apparently it had been wait for it........ minus 10 degrees, blimey, no wonder we were so cold !!!!!!
(I apologise for mad hat and manic expression, I have a cold and was VERY cold - have I mentioned that?)

Had a nice day today visiting my lovely old mate S and dropped in on my sister who was very surprised to see us, so lovely to catch up.

We have Twiglet's Christingle at our village church on Christmas Eve, it's his first time ever as a star turn, he's playing JOSEPH !!! yay !! (Hope the camera works this time).

The loveliest thing about this is that his little cuz is coming up for Christmas so will be there.  Even better my Mum is coming to stay for Christmas - we haven't seen her for a few weeks as she has been ill, so we're all geared up for a lovely, relaxing time.  My Mum is going home on Boxing Day and Mr Twigs parents, Sister and family are coming round for a Chinese takeaway the day after - top family fun!!!
Righto, Hope you have a wonderful Christmas however you choose to spend it my friends.  Take care, keep warm and be happy.

love
Twiggy x

Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................

After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn.
Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).

I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!

Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.

I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
