Fairy girls

My girls posed for me with the huge mushroom that grandad made.
My work in progress is progressing.


Potential fairies come forward.

The girls and the twins after the wedding.

Iris and Daisy really love Frankie and Evie, Iris especially loves them.
Iris did mention to me that they looked like snow white, and can you imagine how exciting to a four year old it must be to have not only one beautiful snow white 'look-e-like-e' to talk to and play with, but two identical beautiful snow white's.

This is Iris crying because the Snow Whites are leaving very shortly.

This is Iris cheering up because Frankie (i think that's Frankie) gave her a last cuddle.

Thankfully she remained happy for one last photograph.

Dungeness, Kent

We were invited to the wedding of Tom and Lucy, this weekend just gone, Tom is Marc's cousin.
On the way we went to stay with Run & Lisa in Kent, and on Saturday we went to Dungeness.

Dungeness Estate to precise, right next to the power station.

Here are some photographs

This believe it or not was Derek Jarman's little cottage.
Everything you ever wanted to know about him can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Jarman

This was his garden.

You can see the powerstation behind and to the left, and the old lighthouse to the right.
Not actually too sure why those megaphones are set into that building, they just point out to sea.

Just in front of those megaphones is a lovely stony beach.

Iris tried rolling down the stony dunes.

When she reached the sea she changed her mind.

I've started bloggin again...

Yes i have, and i will try my very hardest to keep it up.

...more Devon - Half Term

Grandad Nick had told the girls that he and Nana had been out for a walk with the dogs a couple of weeks ago and they'd come across an old cottage that looked quite deserted. They'd gone upstairs and found a room with seven little beds in, and a room with one big bed in it, and they had found a snow white dress and other costumes.
The girls had kind of believed it, so when we went out on a walk up to Berry Head, Daisy especially kept asking where the house was, this is them looking for the house.




We found this stick house which was rather cool.



This i think is grandad trying to distract them from going on about the House of the Seven Dwarfs, unsucessfully.


This is an old canon which every child sits on for a photo, it's the rules at Berry Head, i had it done when i was a child so these children must have the same.
The moment i manage to get all of them in at the same time, the girls looks away, typical.


I had my photograph taken in this exact spot as well as a child (prob with Vicky), mum i'm sure you must have it somewhere in one of those old small yellow photo albums.
Now you see her
Now you don't (no she didn't topple over)

Devon - Half Term

We went to Devon this half term, and we came across a Dalek down the harbour.
The Dalek was there in honour of the start of the Brixham Heritage Festival week, though i'm not sure what a Dalek actually has to do with Brixham's Heritage, but it was fun watching it zoom up the streets of Brixham.
Somebody said that might be a cyberman with them?

A Dalek and an old fashioned soldier, a very good combination.
