Very busy half term hols !!!

Well I've just finished my first day back at work and lovely Mr Twigs has made some scrummy allotment soup (home grown, parsnips, and potatoes) in the slow cooker, which we're about to eat with some warm crusty bread - yum!!

Anyhoo we had a really, really lovely half term break, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Here is bestest baker making scones - see above with home made blackberry jam, they were scrumptious - if you want the recipe shout !!!
 Tolson Museum.

 and playground..........
 The very beautifully refurbished Greenhead Park - I love parks !!!
 The glass house was derelict for years and is now a snazzy cafe.

 The fountain was also derelict for years.

Excited face, must mean we're at the train museum in York.
 The very beautiful Duchess of Hamilton.
The Mallard - gorgeous.
 Called in at Twiglet's favourite garage on the way home, we're being invaded!!



 We also found time for a local walk along a nearby bridleway - the hedgerows are laden with berries.


 We bumped into a local hunt - what a surprise !!!
 Must not forget Mr Twigs birthday on Sunday - cake made by me and Twiglet, again scrummy, first time we've made it, it was lush.
 We rounded off a fantastic week with a trip to lovely Filey for Mr Twig's birthday.
Had a great time rock pooling.
 The sun shone so..............
a very cute and very crazy boy went for a dip in the sea on the 30th October !!!!!
 Halloween squash
 Halloween cutie !!!

 Hope you enjoyed the photos of our whistle stop half term.

I blimmin love this time of year, once we're all home there is nothing nicer to me, than getting my pjs on, drawing the curtains and doing a spot of Christmas stitching.  

Too cosy !!

Keep cosy and stay safe on Bonfire Night - we're going to the Beavers Bonfire tomorrow night at the Scout Hut :)

    what a busy and fun half term you had! We went to the Tolson a few years ago and we must go back. We ave never been to Filey though, fancy being able to swim in the sea in October!

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