Moonraking Festival 2015.

Hello lad and Dad have gone to the cinema to see Big Hero 6, so I thought I would update you on our visit to the Slaithwaite 2015 Moonraking Festival last night.
Top,chilly fun, apologies for photo quality, the camera found it a bit chilly too!!!
The procession that goes through the village streets (must admit we didn't walk the whole way this year, instead we nipped into the Shoulder of Mutton for a pint of Slaughtered Lamb).
Very cute.
 Very cheeky !!
 Here's the moon being returned to the water after being taken through the streets. 
 Can you spot the giant birthday cake, made to celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the festival?
 Firework finale.




 We've decided next time, we are definitely going to make a lantern.

    That looks great fun (particularly the pint of real ale afterwards!) Your firework photos are brilliant. x

    Pint of Slaughtered Lamb? Thought that was a certain Yorkshire pub on the moors that made jokes about the Alamo but never joked about Werewolves.

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