I have just about made it through the weekend with my sanity intact, for the eldest’s Birthday she wanted everything ‘Cow’, so that she got! I made fuzzy cow print curtains, big squashy cushions and all sorts, not forgetting a cow Birthday cake:

Its not quite as grand as the one her Grandma made for her (two cakes, spoilt rotten or what!?) but, If you could just pretend to be super impressed with my effort because I’m not best known for my cooking talents, i tried! Check out the pics, the room is somewhat dazzling on the eye, but your only 10 once i suppose. I shall be adding the cow canvas to mazoo for sale soon-ish, she hasn’t named it yet, its pretty weird looking, like most of my animal paintings so funny name suggestions welcome?

We went off to paignton zoo, where it peed it down for the entire day,  it was still much fun and its a nice big, well kept zoo, so i didn’t leave feeling too depressed about animals in locked up in cages, apart from their new crocodile swamp, that did seem a touch on the cramped side, if I’m being honest i didn’t really want to go in there, they scare me, i may be vegetarian, but Ive never been very good at it, i like crocodile skin handbags a bit too much. Just call me Cruella, no, perhaps not, i like Dalmatians far too much for that.

I was looking forward to seeing the bats, so very cute, Rodriguez fruit bats i believe, but i couldn’t get any good photos of them as I’m not too great with my new camera yet and i didn’t want to use my flash, don’t think they would appreciate that. The sleeping Leopard was adorable, she looked so cuddly, I’m sure she thought we looked like tasty treats!

Just to add to the animal mix, here’s a pic of a painting i did a while ago which i will also add to mazoo for sale soon, I’ve got tons of new art which i keep meaning to add, again its one of my weird animals, ‘Zed’ his ears remind me of speakers!

My time in Prison…..

Ξ May 19th, 2008 | → 2 Comments | ∇ Fun And Games |

Hubby and I went for a wonder about Bodmin Jail recently, its a great fun place to go, some very amusing true stories on the walls around the cells about the former inmates and what they had done (quite often not much) to deserve being banged up! I wont divulge with too much info it would spoil it , its worth a visit to see how dramatically our justice system has changed over the years. We all know its become softer on criminals, but it doesn’t really sink in just how crappy it is now, until you visit a place like this. There is a great little restaurant/pub there too with a comfy lounge room, i recommend going to the pub after  the jail as the staircases are steep and possibly wouldn’t be too safe after a couple of pints! 

They do night time ghost tours, I’d very much like to go for one of those, what a laugh? To give you a good laugh here’s some pics of my visit:
