WOYWW

 This week I have been very busy as I have had my little playmate here.

We enjoyed all sorts of fun activities, but I think my favourite was this one.....

I showed Ben the photos, that I shared with you last week, of the Arcimboldo sculptures. He was impressed.

So, we tore or cut out pages from old gardening magazines and spent a couple of happy hours making each other laugh with the faces we created....

Ben's creations......



My attempts.....

I'm thinking of opening a gallery!!!!


Tomorrow I am making a Halloween outfit for him. He wants to be a Demogorgon! 

Watch this space (I have no idea where to start but I am sure it will come to me eventually)

Thanks for dropping by to see what I get up to.

Have a great week.

 Well folks - no work on my work desk but a few fab photos to share.

Last week we spent a few days in Yorkshire.

The weather was lovely, so we had a day in York, a day at Harlow Carr Gardens (RHS) and a day walking The Strid at Bolton Abbey. We also squeezed in a train ride from Skipton to Carlisle over the Settle/Carlisle viaduct. The views were wonderful.

Here are a few photos of our trip.

The four seasons...




These were huge sculptures with a nod to the artist Arcimboldo.


Gorgeous Autumn colours.
AND a lovely steam special in the pouring rain at Carlisle.

I hope you are all well - thanks for commenting on my post last week.

I will pop round to visit your desks this week - providing Tilly doesn't have too much work for me to catch up on!

Just a quick post today as I have yet another busy week this week.

Last week after all the fun of the WOYWW Crop we went off to Monmouth for a few days.

We were lucky to have good weather and had a lovely time visiting local places of interest. We thought Monmouth and its surroundings were beautiful.




I know you all saw lovely photos of our day together at the Crop. Thanks for all the comments about the day. It really was good to get together with you all.

Here are the all the little items that you kindly shared with me.....




AND this is my prize that I won in the raffle....


Eva - Sarah's friend had donated them and I was thrilled to receive them. (As you know, I am not really a card maker, so they will come in very useful).

So, that's me for this week.
I probably won't be visiting your desks to comment but will pop to see what you have been up to if I get an opportunity.

Have a good week.
