Any guesses what creature this is?

We came across a strange animal yesterday in Plymouth... It looked like seething from a sci-fi movie but turned out to be a long haired lurcher who had a great party trick of picking up every hoop his owner threw and carrying them in a rather unique way!

Finished Teepee...

Close up of the finished teepee

Teepee time!

I had a masterclass yesterday evening in putting up a Teepee!! Fascinating and incredible that one person can put up one of these beautiful structures, but a little helping hand got us there quicker before rain threatened above... Thanks Tim you made it all look so easy !

Riverford Converts!

We have recently switched from Abel & Cole organic veg box to Riverford.  I know we are the last of our friends to try Riverford so we are preaching to the enlightened, but we are 'loving it'! This lettuce was just so gorgeous. The red spuds were great just on their own. The essential difference with everything is don't think we could buy quite the same or this quality in the Supermarket. Bonus that they are just up the road but they deliver all over the country.  We are converted & looking forward to box number 2!!

Pawtrait Cushions



We are awash with Purrtrait Cushions & looking forward to adding them to my new website,  Etsy Store,  NotontheHighStreet. We nearly lost our own moggy today, she is old & not so well. Scaled a roof & a bathroom window with her wrapped in a towel...let's hope she recovers but she is an old gal!

Spooky Tree at Dyrham Park

We saw a great face in this fantastic tree at Dyrham Park near Bath..the stuff of myth & legend.

Testing

Could https://ifttt.com be the answer....

2 Heads are better than 1! Test to say Thank you!

If this works then my thank you's should reach Alan Depledge & The Dartmouth Bid on Facebook & Twitter for an inspiring workshop on using Social Media. A life line especially for a small rurally based business like us. Getting our social media head on going cross eyed, see pic, figuring it all out. To set up feeds to FB & Twitter from this blog I used this
Did this 4 years ago for Lovehart but forgot how...it seems to take a while to start working.....Like my brain,  No post is complete without a picture!!
