Tea for Two Tuesday & Red Squirrel Watching

On Tuesday we were invited to a lovely afternoon tea at our friend Chris's house.


Clementine was very pleased to visit Mary and thoroughly enjoyed her 'posh' tea.


She looks lovely a pink dress and cardigan she borrowed from Peggy Sue.


Mary is just exquisite.


The afternoon tea was delicious!


Much chit chat went on.


Henry joined them...


and tied to sneak a roll while they were chatting.


Gigi visited Ten Ping and her family in her delightful little house


It was just a very lovely way to spend an afternoon.


We also had a delicious afternoon tea.


Plus thoroughly enjoyed watching the red squirrels feeding.


Although we get a lot at our place, they tend to stay in the hazel nut trees, so we don't see them so often.









We also did a spot of bird watching.

Getting Ready for Valentine's Day.


Clara and Peggy Sue are excited about Valentine's Day and wonder if they will be lucky enough to get some Valentine Cards.  They have both changed into pretty pink dresses.  They are planning to make some cards themselves and some decorations.

Sweet girls.


They are joined by Clementine who is wearing a dress and cardigan that Peggy Sue has let her borrow.


Such a pretty girl too.



Also dressed in pink are some of the Sasha girls.  Their post can be seen on my Sasha Haven blog.

Wandering with Wren - Life in Miniature Dolls' Houses

Yesterday Wren wandered over to Ryde to see a Dolls' House exhibition of one lady's collection.


A little note about the collection.  
There were also sheets to read about each house which was really interesting.


Wren was amazed at all the detail in these little houses.


Such a lot of work went into them.






This was unique!





She loved the toy shop.



and the sewing and wool shop.




These was a fun house too.



I liked this older style house, it has a certain charm.





Wren really enjoyed these houses and hopes that we have got some inspiration to work on ours at some stage.
