Piggies....

In the suitcases I found this tin

Another big smile because 

It contains my fountain pens.

Again 

I thought it had got lost in the 

Move.

When I write in my 

diary, planners

And to do lists I love using

Old fashioned ink.

The pens weren,t expensive  but I haven,t

Replaced the one,s I thought I had lost 

So it was nice being re united

And I,m looking forward

To using them again.

I do love piggies

Last month it was my birthday

And I got not one but two surprises

From my husband and the children

And 

They are made by a local artist here and everyone is unique.

I had spotted the piggies

A month or so earlier when we drove past 

But thought nothing of them 

Until on my birthday morning I had 2 very heavy parcels 

To unwrap.

My husband had preserved them 

And will have too again

Probably once or twice a year 

So he was told by the artist 

and when the frost comes 

They will have to be put away 

as otherwise the wood may split.

They stand on big slabs of slate 

Under the apple tree and 

Look very much at home.

The artist is now trying to sell a massive bulldog and

A bear 

My piggies are really heavy so I can only imagine how heavy those

Monsters are..and what to do with them in the 

Winter??

No I will settle for my two and next birthday maybe 

Another may join them ???

Wink wink!!

I'm pleased some of you were able to take advantage of 

the discount code for Sew and Sew.

I was tempted too

And am looking forward now 

To those endless winter evenings 

And to making some Christmas  

Presents .

I often hear of various discount codes for 

Fabric shops to , when I do I will let you know.

Today we are popping down to Llangrannog to meet up with friends.

I'm looking forward to hearing some gossip 

And how life is back in London.

I can,t believe August is nearly over

I have really enjoyed the summer holidays 

And arriving here in Blogland 

And meeting all you wonderful people

.
