Step back in time.

You didn't really think we'd let the school holidays pass without riding on a Steam Train did you ??

Last week, before Mr Twigs was poorly we had a lovely day out on the East Lancashire Railway - one we haven't been on before. 

We bought a family ticket which entitled us to sail up and down the line all day, having a few visits to the very reasonably priced buffet car, that was staffed by a bunch of lovely old lady and gentleman volunteers.

All the staff were volunteers and were absolutely lovely, very friendly and quite taken with Twiglet.

Twiglet dressed up in the museum - how cute?


 The stations are gorgeous.

 Lovely steam train

 Comfy carriages, lovely cuddles.
 Nice pub, we popped in for a shandy and a bag of Seabrooks.
 Look at the fab station in Bury, inside is all wood and they have a 1950s style kiosk.

 Hope you enjoyed the trip.

 Catch you later.

    Looks like a great day out - we like the Severn Valley Railway. Hope Mr Twigs is on the mend. x Jo

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