Summer hols part two

We spent Half term in Northumberland.

Beaches

Houses. (This is Earl Greys house and yes I did have a cup)

Paddling (or plodging as we call it up here)

The Holy island of Lindisfarne reached only by a causeway at low tide.

Huts of upturned boats.

So many castles.

The Farne islands. Home to families of grey seals pupping right now.

Picnic on the beach.

More plodging

More beaches

More castles

Hmmmm…. standing in the line of fire.

Alnwick castle. Home to the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and where the first 2 HP films were shot.

Halloween fun.

First ever electrically lit house in England.

Clan Howe, Happy days indeed…….

 

I cannot recommend this part of the country enough. We’ve been going for years and never get bored. Its a magical place, full of history and romance. *sigh*

The things you do for your children.

T was supposed to be going to a party last night at school, games and such. All dressed up in Halloween garb. At the last minute it was cancelled. I realise that it could be down to a bad choice of day but it was mentioned that a lot of the kids thought that the party was “lame” and “for kids”. Well pardon me, at 12, THEY ARE KIDS!!!

So, T was gutted and I felt sad so………

Severed fingers and eyeball cakes.

 

Out of the garden pumpkin.

He dressed up as the Terminator and I think the evening was saved.

Back to the ferrero project, here is this weeks offering. By the way feel free to make these to sell. If anyone asks Tell them where the pattern can be found. Also, I feel that I should mention that the suggested hook size is just that, a suggestion. I crochet loose but with these things am a bit tighter so play around.

Also I would love to see what you make so show a picture here http://www.flickr.com/groups/crochet-ferrero/pool/
