Fancy Fringe

There were some lovely bulls with fancy fringes in Mull.
I also found out that reported fishery catches of Sea Trout have declined dramatically. Unfortunately I found this out after having it for dinner the previous evening.....

Bonnie Scotland

Jo and I travelled to Scotland for a brief trip to Edinburgh and then to Mull to stay with some of my family. We stayed in a beautiful little cabin in the called 'Tor Beag', surrounded by mountains.

We swam in lots of lovely Lochs and ate tasty food all week. 

We went on a day trip around the surrounding islands, looking for Minke Whales. We were out for 7 hours and saw 2 basking shark, porpoise, seals and a very rare bird called a Sea eagle which has a wing span of around 2 meters. There are only 30 pairs in the world so we were very lucky!

Happy Birthday BOB

Recently I went to Wookey Hole to see my lovely friend Jane and we went along to the church fete. There were lots of fun cakes, a bunting making workshop, lots of smiles , singing ,tea and scones.







Rural Life

I went on a little trip to the Somerset Rural Life Museum recently. The last time I had been there was when I was about 7, dressing up in old clothes and learning how people used to wash their clothes.

Under my bed

This was the first bed book I made, with a much more simple construction.

Under my bed

This is a little book I made about everything I found under my bed at my mums house. I hadn't looked under my bed for 2 years and found many odd things. It took 4 hours to clear!
It was one of the first time I've tried out bookbinding and it was pretty tricky to work everything out but it was fun to make.
