Whipsnade ~ Lion Love

Untitled Untitled Untitled

After showing mum and dad the castle I ran off home with them for the weekend leaving Will in Norwich to work bahahaha (sorry Will) and they took me to the zoo.
These lions were really cute.

More on the flickr, again.

Also, oh my god it's Christmas tomorrow!!!

Norwich Castle ~ Pretty Glass

Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled

Just over a week ago my parents came to visit and so we took them to see the castle. I love looking at light through windows. Especially when they're stained glass. Or have pretend pigeons behind them.

Funghi

A peek at my Saturday A peek at my Saturday A peek at my Saturday A peek at my Saturday A peek at my Saturday

I know nothing about funghi except that it's cool to look at and the other day I noticed this one tree by the river that had all sorts on it. I really wanted to poke that redish one at the top but I thought better of it, I love how it's grown all around that branch and the last picture is just tree but that's awesome too.

Anyone know what they are? Are they safe to poke? Are they even funghi? Is it weird that I want a mushroom pizza now? Questions questions...

Music ~ Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds



The other day this video was brought to my attention. It made me excited. Nick Cave is just, I dunno. Often when I hear something by him that I haven't heard before I have to listen to it again before I realise how much I like it but I've never questioned whether I like his music or not because I really really do. I love him basically. But he also scares me a little. I wish I could dance like him. It's been brought to my attention that not everyone feels the same way about Nick Cave as I do but I think those people will come around eventually because he's magic. Luckily Will is not one of those people, he has an unhealthy love for the man too. Also, he wrote the screenplay for Lawless which was brilliant (Bane sized Tom Hardy in a cardigan, what's not to love?), anyway here is a music video, look out for the famous folk.

I'm really enjoying having the #drawdec challenge on instagram. I might have to write out a list of words for January to keep it going once this is over.

Good Morning

Untitled Untitled Untitled

When I woke up this morning the room was orange. Another reason to like this time of year, I'd never be up early enough to see this in the summer.

My plan to stay organised and keep up with things is going well so far. There is crochet bunting everywhere.

By everywhere I mean Etsy, Folksy and The Craft Room.

William's Birthday Part Two: Not History

William's Birthday William's Birthday William's Birthday William's Birthday William's Birthday William's Birthday

We're so cool.

Dino breakfast.
Snazzy glasses.
A much too small toga.
Viking faces.
The most amazing family ever.
My William and this William both like skeletons, maybe there's something about the name.

There are some more photos from the castle on my flickr page.

Sunday Sketchbook ~ #drawdec and Natural History

Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled

I'm taking part in a daily drawing challenge on instagram for December. I've neglected drawing recently (again...) so I'm looking forward to having this to keep me going (search #drawdec for everyone's drawings and I'm @vongarratt if you're interested)
These first 2 were 'cat' and 'dvd/book cover'.

Some drawings from the castle on Will's birthday.

Some older drawings, including a little bit of a comic strip I'm doing. Actually thinking about doing a silly little bi-monthly web comic, we'll see.
