Finger Puppets!

My Nan was recently 96 years young. I thought she deserves a special mention for her finger puppets she has been making for years! They take her several hours to make (especially as she frequently nods off!) and sells them for just 55p!!! All the money she has raised (which is actually hundreds of pounds) goes to charity.
This is not the full range - others include, Bob the builder, Postman Pat, Bagpuss and Paddington Bear. If you have a request to see one then leave a comment and I will see if I can get a pic.
Oh yeah, she has cataract and Glaucoma in both eyes!

Road trip to...



Yes, we had a trip to Ikea on Saturday to get some office bits & pieces also some things for A&R. The drive normally takes 2hours in the mini-bus if you de-restrict the throttle by removing the carpet under the pedal! Only joking dad! but on this occasion took 6hours!!! We were stuck on the M11 about 20 mins away from Ikea due to an accident ahead! Anyway here are some pics of he eventful day...
The Jam



Plenty of cross-stich and book marking was done!



Andy going for a break!!!

Thanks for the cookies Ruth...yum yum. I'll save Andy one as he was the bus driver home!
