Come outside it feels like Spring

Well we have been busy bees here at Twiggy Towers.  

I've attended a lot of meetings and I'm settling into the routine of work now.  

Twiglet's school celebrated Red Nose Day on Friday by having a wear something for money day and a Glee for a fee talent show!!

Twiglet wore one of the fab Vivienne Westwood skull t.shirts and I dressed as a schoolgirl :) 

Mr Twigs wants me to wear the outfit again - cheeky boy!!

It was a fun day for a good cause and our little school raised £200 which was great. 

I was very proud of Twiglet as he was one of only 3 littlies in his class that took part in the talent show and delivered his robot jokes beautifully - what a little star - much braver than I was at 5 !!

Did you see the live Frankenstein from Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds last night?  it was fab. 

Me and Mr Twigs actually intended to go along but for one reason and another couldn't get there.  

Must admit though it was much warmer watching it on the sofa in my PJs. 

Here's a link if you missed it. 

Frankensteins's Wedding

Well yesterday the sunshine put us in the mood for garden clearance so good old Mr Twigs took 5 sacks of garden rubbish and weeds to the tip and I repotted all our Sweet Pea seedlings.  Doesn't the greenhouse look tidy now?  the little plants are cabbages.  

We are a bit stuck until we get our new allotment so are having to grow everything in trays and buckets for the time being!!

We've had a lovely day out here today.   

MOSI 

MOSI (Manchester Museum of Science and Industry) 

I'd highly recommend it, we looked at EVERYTHING, had a little steam train ride and the cakes in the coffee shop are lush.

Remember a while ago I said I'd treated myself to some birthday goodies well here they are.  What an ecletic mix.  

Top DVD viewing to make the ironing mountain more fun......... 

and one of my favourite books that I haven't read for ages.

 I haven't had time for much crafting recently but I am doing some cross stitch every evening, so it's coming on slowly but surely but I'll save that for next time.

Righto, I have a joint of pork in the oven and have to go and do the roasties now.

Have a great week.

Is that the sun ???

Blimey it's actually been a lovely sunny day today, in fact I was looking out of our bedroom window this evening and spotting two hares boxing in the field across the road - amazing.  

Spring must have arrived.

So another busy week.  

Our cheeky pigs are settling in nicely, see above, they like a good wrestle and it makes Twiglet giggle. 

My friend C came round on Thursday and we had a little stitch and natter session, we are such a pair of old biddies.

Yesterday we visited here. 

South Yorkshire Air Museum

Well worth a visit, very interesting and run by volunteers, very reasonable entrance charges and a visit to my Mums afterwards !!!

The beautiful weather today encouraged us to go for a Mr Twigs character building walk and to clean out the greenhouse and plant some seeds - forgot to take photos (I'll try and get some snaps this week).

We now have some pretty little pots of primulas around the back door and a greenhouse with onions, sweet peas, sunflower, leeks and red cabbage seedlings. 

I treated myself this week to a few late birthday goodies, which I'll tell you about later as it's now time for Vic Reeves style trouser rubbing.  

Hooray David Morrissey in South Riding - DING DONG !!!!

Love
