Torquay

again, but this time we spent 5 days there, I took my sewing machine an was determined to make some Softies while I was there.

I made Bronte her Martha Monkey:


There is a lovey little Church Opp shop in town and there is always a bargin to have, and I just knew there would be some old pillow cases there that would be perfect for the Softies

Every year over Easter Torquayrmary School holds there Fete, its awesome and there is loads and loads to do, in the Halis their Trash and Treasure and I was luckyto find a litle golden book for the pictures and the most beautifu old readers that have a real Vintage feel and look.




While at the Fete I found a stall that sold Jewlery and scored a pair of silver earings that have a Celtic look about them, very nice, good comprimise as I have wanted some Charles Rennie MacKinstosh earings for years now,

10 Years Ago:
I had a two year old beautiful baby boy, I was working full time, and cryed everydayat work, over missing him and hating that I had to work.

Buy two houses, by myself the old blue VW I've always wanted, give loads away to friends

Gentle Annies - Lorne

Last weekend we went to this stunning little Berry Farm 20 min from Lorne, the kids got Gobblers passes which enabled them to eat as much as they want! and they loved it!

I think I will make this an annual event , we had the best time.



My mother, sister, bil and kids showed us around as it was out 1st time!



The scarecrow's were all a work of art, he is just one of many!

Bronte had pancakes full of yummy Blackberries, whilst the rest had pies, Plougmens Lunch, etc, think we all wished we chose the Pancakes!!
