My next batch of masks is nearly ready for sale. I have raised over £2400 for my rescue since I started making masks last June :)

I want to buy the SNAIL ? one!!!!
For Gary....my snail! How absolutely beautiful these masks are!
I would buy one if I could but by the time you shipped it to the USA .... you’d be broke! Flat rate shipping I was told STARTS at $24.
THATS BEFORE YOU EVEN WEIGH THE THING!!! ?
Crazy!....absolutely crazy!.....

Those are just adorable! I love the meerkats and the owl.. do you have a link where you sell them online or just locally?
Message me. I ask for £3 a mask You can pay by PayPal...

These masks measure 13cm from the bridge of the nose to the tip of the chin which may work out a bit small for men. I do have a larger pattern I can make up and am in the process of buying fabrics to restock on mansize today.


I have posted to the US Three times in the last year. Postage to the USA works out around £3/US$4.20, but I’d calculate when I know what you want :)

Good evening all.
It's not stopped raining all day and is set to continue all night and most of tomorrow. :(
I've just had a peep at my little pond and was really pleased to see 3 frogs out and about - one of them a small juvenile I've not seen before.
I was worried that they'd died in prolonged freeze we had because the 'pond' is just a plastic container that the frogs moved in to a few years ago and it's on the surface of my garden. I covered it well but there was still quite a thick layer of ice on it.
So I'm really happy to see them enjoying the rain.
Our Friday is almost over but I hope you're all having a good day.
We have seen a frog in our pond too this week. I don’t think we’ll get any froogspawn this year as the pond is so new.

CDR Virtual Vacations presents On this day 2020 (part 1): We were up at first light for a dawn birding trip in perfect weather on a boat in the tidal Okarito Lagoon. The views alone were to die for. Mountains meeting rainforest meeting the sea. Absolutely stunning.

CDR Virtual Vacations presents On this day 2020 (part 2): In perfect weather, we took a flight up the Franz Josef Glacier around Mount Tasman and Mount Cook and landed on Fox Glacier before flying down it to return to our base. (Confusingly the township is also called Franz Joseph Glacier)

The ice fields and glaciers were spectacular, but covered in ash from the Australian bush fires. The weather closed in a bit in the afternoon while we were out walking, but cleared again in the evening.

I've never kept an indoor rabbit (or an outdoor one, for that matter), but I've read that you can train them to a litter box???
I had one when Jess was just a toddler. We called him Blue Bunny... he was steel blue and white.. he had the run of the house and I enjoyed him immensely. He and my Weenie dog Jake would fight over my lap. Whoever got in it first usually one!! I would always find Jess laying on a blanket watching TV with him... feeding him RiceKrispy treats ?...

Sunny, bright, but cold here this morning. About 27F. The temps later this week will be close to 60 for two or three days. I’ll have to get out kayaking.

A throwback to last year about this time.

I was outside this morning and I noticed that the only green you see around here is the mistletoe... Did yours get to do anything??

I did one once before and it isn’t my favourite mode of transport. I am more than happy for others to sit near the windows so I can’t quite get a grip on the drop beneath ?

I am glad I did it though

We went on a
hike this morning and spring arrived while we were out.
It was very muddy, but the sun came out and there was loads of birdsong. The buzzards (big birds of prey but not like the vultures called buzzards in the US) were in pairs and mewing loudly as they circled. It was lovely.

Penshurst Place a local stately home usually open to the public.

One of the wide straight rides on the Penshurst Estate that we walked. This used to be where the gentry would have ridden or taken carriage rides in their land. Now they’re public footpaths
