Garden Centre Christmas

I love the bright lights and sparkliness of Christmas. So many opportunities for me to show off my furry cuteness (yeah, right). We went to a garden centre at the beginning of Advent which was marvellous fun.

Scamper-sized trees.

Moo!

I'm off on a safari
(just kidding).

Oooh, sparkly Santa.
Double thumbs up from me.

Look at this model village.
It's got a miniature ski lift and everything.

Fun.

A musical engine.
What will they think of next?

Can you see me?

You can't beat a glittery unicorn.

Joy to the world....

I think this bear was a bit grumpy about me sitting
on his head.
I'm glad he didn't try sitting on mine.

Omnomnom.

Just chillin' and dreamin' of a white Christmas....

Long Weekend: Wells (Part 3)

We spent the last part of our long weekend looking around Wells.

Wells Cathedral was built in the 13th century.

This is the moat around the Bishop's Palace. 

Impressive entrance to the Bishop's Palace.

This is the entrance to the Bishop's Palace's gardens.

Lots of marvellous archways and windows for me to pose in front of.

A large tower in the gardens - no idea what it's there for.

Posing again.

And again.

Posing in a tree.

Looking out over the moat.

 

That's the chapel behind me.
I was a bit tired in this photo so I'm sucking my thumb.

This is Vicars' Close.

Couldn't wait to devour this brownie and hot chocolate
after all that sightseeing.

Long Weekend: Cheddar Gorge (Part 2)

The Sunday of our long weekend was marvellously sunny with clear blue skies which was wonderful timing since we went to Cheddar Gorge.

Beautiful day in Cheddar.

Can't beat sunshine, rocks, water and greenery for a day out.

I feel very small.

Where's Scamper?

Being a brave bear, sitting all by myself on a log bridge.

I was a bit worried in case I fell off the log.

If you look very carefully, you can see Himself waving his arms about.

It's a double thumbs up for Cheddar Gorge.

Himself thought this was funny.
I don't know why....

Just posing.

Buying cheddar in Cheddar Gorge.
(You just have to, don't you?)

Long Weekend: Bristol (Part 1)

The three of us recently had a long weekend in and around Somerset. I was intrigued by the accents; they roll their Rs. The Saturday was mostly rainy but we still enjoyed mooching round Bristol and the Clifton Suspension Bridge; Herself and I had fun.

Starting the weekend right, with a cocktail.

Hello Morph!

Woof woof!

Boo! Grrrr!

May I introduce Isambard Kingdom Brunel,
designer of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Ta daa.

It was very windy and cold crossing the bridge. But fun.

Bit cloudy but still a marvellous view.

Amazed

Happy Easter!

The last word of the Lent challenge is:  AMAZED. A good word for Easter Sunday. It's amazing and awesome and marvellous that Jesus came back to life. 

Herself doesn't feel well enough to go to church these days so we cuddled up together and watched BBC's Songs of Praise to celebrate Easter with many other followers of Jesus in a similar position.

Celebrating the amazingness of Easter!

We also went for an Easter walk this afternoon. Enjoy.

Herself loves trees in blossom, especially against a blue sky.

I was happily ambling along when I heard a voice:
'Come on Scamper! Photo shoot!'

Herself and I don't know the path ahead of us or what the next twelve months will bring.
But we are choosing to trust God our Father -
and hope that by next Easter we will be able to celebrate His Son's resurrection in church.

Among

Today's word in the Lent challenge is AMONG.

Aren't these tulips marvellous?
