dear old grandma tiger!

I have made some marking on the head, covering it in old curtain fabric, so will be cutting fur in the next few days!

nice day ... nice lunch ....

i decided to try somewhere different on a bright autumny day ... we went to Bennett's water gardens for an explore. lived in Weymouth for 10 years and had not yet visited ...



three children taking in all that water ...



three ducks maybe thinking the same. it was very pretty and peaceful ...



my children in a Monet painting ... for some reason, Paul Daniels was chosen to open this bridge, in July of 1999, just a month before I came here ...



welcome to our new house. we play dominoes here, as well as rest our legs ...



but then, it starts to rain, and we shelter a bit in the woods, then make a run for the cafe ...



time for juicy salad ....



Mary's first taste of raw onion ...



amd some tasy hot macaroni cheese ... we asked the cafe to split 2 adult plates between four little people which was just about right ...

papoose - closing down ...

papoose in weymouth is closing, but for the last two weeks artwey artists took up an offer of gallery space and hels an exhibition there ...



artwey members always willing to dive in and cover some walls!



some even sold some work, and I got one or two leads from the exhibition that I know of ... my four-year-olds liked this charming chair!



here is my little display with some of my new cards ...



daisy admired it ... but seemed surprised to find it there!

I been messing with my hair !

10 years younger?



i do think the smell of hot henna is lovely ... but i dont much like washing green poo out of my hair!

rat feet ... WIP

big ones!

Visit to Kingston Maurward with Weymouth HE ....

yet again the greedy goats of Kingston Maurward snatch a whole feed bag, leaving matty with one piece of food!



Daisy feeds the alpaca, but very carefully ...



it is nice to share the experience ...



and then go off and have some fun, running about ...



or slide down with a friend ...



as fast as you can,even if you want to keep your back pack on for comfort!



and Mary does go off to play, too ...



sometimes a long way off !

pony rides ...

matty goes first ...



here she is returning from her ride ...



then its daisy's turn ...



jenny isn't holding Beauty, who walks daisy over to me!



mary has a little rise too, and then a giggle, probably about uunderpants again!



what a lovely morning!
