Nessie

While away I bought a crochet kit - I'm a sucker for one, especially as you get everything you need hassle free!

I'mreally pleased with the finished item too. Just need to package her up for her new home. I hope she's liked!

You can get a kit here to make your own nessie :-)

Norwich - aha!

The Artist and I had a week off - no getting up at 06:30 amazing!

We decided to go to Norwich one day as The Artist is a massive Alan Partridge fan :|  I'd read on the net that there were walking tours of the city that showed you all the sites from the recent film. So off we set...

2.5hrs later we arrived, after parking and seeing a man in the ladies (!) We found tourist information, sadly for The Artist the tours only operated during the opening weekend, luckily for me there was a gorilla hunt! 52ish decorated gorillas to be found in the city. We didn't find them all but we did spot some pretty awesome ones...

Then to top it all off Coca Cola were there and I got to put my name on a bottle - WOOHOO :-)

Distractions

I've only made 12 squares but my love for them is fading.... and fast, for bit of a distraction I've started my minion, thankfully The Artist wants a cyclops minion - less fiddly bits!

Today we went to Chatham Dockyard

I was amazed by this massive model of HMS Victory - its huge, my dad would've loved it. He'll have to make do with this pic instead.

We didnt pay the extra for the Call the Midwife tour but that didnt stop me living the bike riding midwife dream

Who knew that Selfridges isnt in London but Kent
