all shiny and new...

my days are pretty similar ..

get up
feed, water many many mouths
clean many, many beds
and repeat..

so i am finding it a little tricky to think of things to write about but this week we have had a surprising late arrival..

meet Bernard Bear
surprising and secret son of Alice Bear


naughty..... but oh such a blooming delight!

totally smitten of course...

you get an amazing lunch and get to take home a made to fit you perfectly pattern so that you can create as many outfits as you like :)


unfortunately due to the fact that i am a fidget pants and rushed the final part of placing pockets so that i could run outside and play in the new caravan, when i tried the frock on for size the pockets were more than a tad on the wonk so i have unpicked them and they are now waiting to be re-stitched before i swan about in my new farm frock and fill the handy pockets with foodie treats for one and all and small critters....

sadly Bernard is already too big to stash in my frock pocket whereupon i could stroke and cuddle him all day long..

Bernard says thank goodness for that...
