Peggy Sue has a friend come to stay.

While Jerica was visiting with Wren (more blog posts to come), Lizzie visited Peggy Sue.


Although they didn't get to go out on any adventures, they enjoyed each other's company and the garden very much.


Peggy Sue told her all about the pond and the wildlife that lives in it.


She also wanted to introduce her to....


The garden gnome, who is the guardian of the lawn and tries to stop the dogs from digging holes in it!


They sit and admire the view on Percy's Rest.


The weather was just beautiful.


Always good to make new friends, and Peggy Sue was pleased to make friends with Lizzie.

Celebrating the Queen's Life

Wren's best friend Jerica from Market Harborough has come to stay for a few days



The girls decided that instead of mourning the Queen's death, that they would instead celebrate her life with a morning tea party.



Joined by Kiwi Sindy and of course Paddington Bear, a well known friend of the Queen.


They enjoyed a cuppa, with a biscuit and the sounds of nature and the fountain behind them.



Whether you are a Royalist or not, Queen Elizabeth II has to be admired for the life of service she gave to her country, the Commonwealth and the World.  Just as she said on her 21st birthday, she dedicated her whole life to doing exactly that.

Celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a Garden Party


Henry has got his car out of the garage where it has been stored for the winter, and is giving it a good clean and polish ready for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Party.


In the meantime Kiwi Sindy and Wren are already on their way


They are very excited and looking forward to arriving at the party


Kiwi Sindy's mini is of course very patriotic.


Kiwi Sindy parks the car and Wren hops out and looks towards the ...


...refreshments caravan which has its bunting up already.



Looking good she thinks.


They have started decorating the tables and getting things set up.



Willow is in the refreshments caravan setting up and Kiwi Sindy and Wren start to wander over to see if she needs some help.


Emily and Molly have their aprons on while they are setting up the tea and cake table.


Always good to protect their pretty dresses.


Some of the flags are out.


The table for the smaller people has been set up.


Henry is now on his way


He is escorting Everlee Rose to the party.


This is a steep hill Henry thinks, I hope the car can make it.


It does, and they park next to Kiwi Sindy's mini.


Henry goes round to the passenger door to open it for Everlee Rose.


Thank you Henry.


Shall we see what is going on?


Little Nancy and Madeline Rose arrive...I'm not quite sure how Madeline fitted in the car, but Nancy assures me she did!

Some time later...


The party is under way.


Everyone is having a grand time, the weather is good, the birds are singing...


There is plenty of good food to eat, and drinks available.





Little Amelia is pretending she is the Queen.


These four look like they are having a great time.


Peggy Sue thinks she looks 'right posh' with her hat and handbag.


Henry is eyeing up the cakes...I think Molly has told him he can't have them all!


Emily looks beautiful in her hat.


What a lovely time they are having.






They all had a really lovely Platinum Jubilee Party.

What an amazing day and incredible achievement for the Queen.

Wren's Postcard Swap - Received from Finland


Wren is delighted to receive a lovely postcard from her Makie Cousins in Finland.


She is so excited to show it off 


The two girls admire the wonderful picture of the two antique dolls in a field.


Wren explains it is from Unna and Anki


She reads the card out.  

Looks like her two friends sitting on the chairs are deep in conversation, I hope they don't miss her reading out the card!


She was absolutely thrilled to get this card.


Thank you so much for the wonderful postcard and for joining in the swap!
