Out and about over half term.

Blimey, I blinked and half term was over,  back to school for both of us tomorrow.  

Hope everyone has had a good week.  

We've spent most of it out and about, partly cos we wanted to and partly to get away from the blardy noise.  

Honestly, our neighbours are having an extension built and we were told 3 months ago it would take 6 weeks!! to say I've fecked off would be an understatement.  

According to Mr Twigs I'm being very grumpy about it, but blardy hell fire, anyhoo, 

I'm sure you're not interested in my moans - however, you might need to get used to it, for the next few weeks, probably years at this rate!!!

So what have we been up to?

We started a week ago last Friday with a trip out so Twiglet could ride his bike at Pugneys Water Park and Twiglets little girly friend came round for tea - they are so sweet :)

Saturday we had one of Mr Twigs character building walks and got very muddy.  

Sunday another character building walk, Jeez it was cold and we ended up looking around the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Twiglet was a real trooper.

Monday and Tuesday my lovely mum came over to stay - hooray!!

Wednesday - bit of shoppping.

Thursday - Visited Cannon Hall with my pal C and her two boys who we haven't seen since Christmas - the piglets and lambs were very cute!!

Friday - escaped the f*****g hammering and banging and had a lovely day over at my Mums.

Saturday went up to view our new allotment and get rid of junk on our current one.

Today - went for a walk in the woods and built a den.

Phew!!  

Are you watching South Riding? I'm really enjoying it.  David Morrissey - phwoar!!

Right that's me for now, if you wish to send me calming vibes, so I don't slot the builders or my dear neighbours tomorrow, please feel free.

Have a great week.

The patter of tiny feet and a snow dalek......................

Have you had snow?  

Twglet was v.excited to see we had when he opened the curtains yesterday, we had to battle out in it to go on a special mission but more on that later.

Of course we had to build a snow dalek, do you like him? (see above).

While playing in the garden we also noticed my pathetic looking holly bush had some more berries on it - yay !!

But the most EXCITING bit yesterday had to be the two new additions to Twiggy Towers.

Meet Dom and Cedric, aren't they cute? they are 16 week old brothers and we can't really tell them apart yet. (I realise I appear to be asleep in this photo).

Meany Mr Twigs won't let me make them different coloured sailor suits to identify them - pah!!

They are very cuddly and Twiglet is enjoying them immensely.  

He was too little to appreciate Miss Queenie and Miss Peaches when we had them.

Although the weather is miserable and grey - urgh to February.  

My Mum is coming over for the day tomorrow and Twiglet and I have the whole of half term week to play.  

Yippee.

Have a great week whatever you do.

We're going for a character building walk this afternoon, followed by a Sunday roast and a cuddle session with Dom and Cedric.  

Perfect.

Things that are making me smile this week.

 Hello campers.  

Did you think I'd forgotten you?  

I'm in that whirlwind of a new job and routine. 

New tasks, new colleagues, training courses.  

I've just had to indulge in some wine and choccy a sure sign I'm back at work.  

Mr Twigs said welcome back to the real world - oy cheeky !!!

Although I'm tired, all is so far, so good.

So anyhoo, here are some things that have made me smile in the last couple of weeks.  

Lots of Twiglet hugs.  

A visit to Cannon Hall Farm to see the gorgeous new born lambs and piglets and watching our little onion and sweetpea seedlings coming through - yay !!!

Here are some pretty pictures of some other smile inducing things. 

Marmalade made by me and the little fella !!!

 

I bought some lovely packs of Christmas fabric and didn't have time to do anything with it before Christmas.  

I've now made a cushion and some table mats for next Christmas.  

 I love this Orla Kiely bag that I bought from Tesco, it's now become my work bag - I need a big one - so to speak !!

 

 Here's some of my lovely birthday pressies.  

How cute is this cross stitch kit, which I'll hopefully have the energy to start soon :)

  

Cute little set of drawers from my pal.

  

 Gorgeous neckalce from my sister, the photo doesn't do the colours justice.

Righto, that's me for now.  Have a great weekend.

Love

Twiggy xxx
