We've just landed....

The Doodly Birds have just landed back in Whitworth from their sojourn to Witney, Oxford where we had a lovely week with my sister that went much to quickly.
Those of you who want to know what was in the box before Cobey the cat claimed it, well look at this.

 

 A late Christmas present from my sis.  I've wanted one for ages and  this one is like new.  
Lucky me also received these early birthday presents.

 They are made by enamalist FIONA CAMERON
This little mosaic is of some more lovely pieces my sister Jill has in her home.
The orchid has been in flower for 10 months.



Another treat we had was to visit the Watermill Theatre at Bagnor, Newbury
http://www.watermill.org.uk/
If you live anywhere near there I strongly recommend you go.  It is set in the most idyllic surroundings, has a wonderful restaurant & bar and is very friendly.
 We saw a truly funny farce of BEN HUR.


Tomorrow I am going to make a few mosaic pictures of the things and people we saw at Art In Action at Waterperry, Oxford.  Including this little fella.

Nice to be back, sort of !

  1. It looks like you had a wonderful time - how on earth does your sister keep her orchid in bloom for 10 months?!
    I love the old typewriter - it's fabulous - is it going to be a display piece or will it be used?
    I'm sending birthday wishes for whenever that may be - very soon I presume as you've opened some of your pressies!
    Looking forward to seeing your photo mosaics

    1. We did Diana and she has two orchids and doesn't do anything to them but water them once a week.
      I am going to use the typewriter and display it too.
      My friends and family will tell you I love my birthdays, they go on for weeks. The big ones go on for about six months. Hee hee

  10. Hello Lynn, looks as though you had a lovely time away - love all the photos. One of the typewriters I learned to type on more than 40 years ago was an Olivetti - they were built to last! I still key like a typist so have ruined any number of PC keyboards over the years ... too heavy handed :) If The Boss was near that box she'd be in it too ... cats are so nosy. Have a lovely weekend. Elizabeth x
