Old haunts.............

Do you have special places that bring back happy memories?  

I bet you do.  

This is one of ours, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal in North Yorkshire, so beautiful.

We used to spend loads of time up here many moons ago as Mr Twigs uncle used to live very nearby in a lovely little cottage.  

He was a very talented artist and did a lot of design work for Athena (remember them?), Marks and Sparks and many other companies.  

We spent such a lot of time in his little house, laughing, drinking and being silly. 

Sadly he died the year before Twiglet was born, but we have a lot of happy memories.  

Twiglet has never been here before and he loved it, so come and take a little walk with us.  

Hope you enjoy it, it really was a beautiful, sunny, warm day.  

We saw lots of little new born lambs and daffodils.  

A perfect day to enjoy the perfect place.


 Fab playground !!


 Amazing vaulted ceilings.

 My very favourite spot, the beautiful Moon Pond.

 We call this Zen Valley :)
 You can't beat a good tree trunk !!
If you are ever up in North Yorkshire, do visit.  

Here's a link  
 
You won't be disappointed and did I mention that it has a fantastic cafe, with tiptop cakes!!!

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...............................................
