Last weekend, cars, ponies and pudding!

Last weekend me, Lex and my Mum went to visit my My Aunt who lives in the New Forest. We are really lucky to have family live in such a beautiful area, I love driving through the Forest with ponies wandering along the road grazing, being 10 minutes from the sea, where we had fish and chips looking out to the Isle of Wight and generally having a change of pace compared to our busy lives here at home.

Here's a few pictures of what we got up too.

The best meringue in the world!!!! We went to lunch at The Station House in Holmsley where me and Mum shared this pudding! If your ever in the New Forest you have to go and try one of these, they really are the best.

One of my Mum's favourite things to do is have a pony cart ride through the forest, its so relaxing.

Me and Lex visited Beaulieu National Motor Museum, we had fun looking at all the cars.

(Lex especially enjoyed it)

This is my dream car an Austin Healey

This is the actual car from the Harry Potter Movie! As a BIG Potter fan I was very excited to see this car

For Top Gear fans there is The Top Gear experience! This is where loads of the cars used in the programmes are kept and theses are just a few of my favourites.

This weekend hasn't been quite so much fun, mostly Lex has been gardening and I have been sewing trying to get ready for my next big show, more on that next week!

I've been working on....

I thought I'd share with you a peek at the collection I've been working on for a new stockist of my work in Florida, USA. Village Bears will be receiving 6 mice from me in the next week or so. Anyway while I was out in the garden taking some photos I had "help" from my little feline friend Molly Cat. That's not her name, its just what I call her because I'm not sure who she belongs too. Ever since I moved here she's been visiting everyday, she's the sweetest natured cat, has a very playful manner and likes to check out anything new in the garden, hence it took me a rather long time to photograph the 6 little cuties!

"Aren't I beautiful?!"

"What have we here?!"

"It doesn't smell like a real mouse!"

A tiny peek at a pink fellow

and a little grey one

I do love a garden....

The weekend before last me and Lex took a trip to Wisley RHS garden. The weather was perfect and we had a lovely time wandering around, here's a few pictures I took on my phone!
