Sorry I've been rubbish...


It turns out it's harder to keep up with this blogging lark than I first thought. I really enjoy it once I get into it but because I spend almost every day at a computer, it's not always what I want to do when I get home.

However, today is a new month and a new outlook. Tim, my husband, does blogging so well over at Heropress - even if he's not in the mood to write he'll post a picture or a film to keep his regular readers happy. He also schedules his posts in advance so if there's a day when he's not up to it, there will still be a post going live.

So, as of today, 1 August 2013, I vow to be more like Tim. I shall be more organised, post more regularly and hopefully it won't be long before I'm back in the swing of things.

    It's a funny thing blogging. Sometimes I don't want to be on the computer either. Other times, it's fun. Here's to you finding your blogging groove.

    Cheers and boogie boogie.

      Thank you - appreciate that. I suspect the hot weather here hasn't helped. I started off writing in the garden tonight though which was lovely. I only came in because my battery died. Sure I'll get back into it soon!

      We have a back deck and I love to take my pen and paper out there to write. I have a laptop, but there's something so fun about hand-written drafts. Do you ever write by hand? Or do you like keyboard the best?

      I rarely write by hand these days. I actually prefer the freedom of a keyboard and being able to chop and change words/sentences/paragraphs without it all getting very messy!

    I'm not sure our house could cope with TWO people behaving like me ;-)

Choo choo - model train time!

Image
Today we took our annual trip to Tonbridge Model Railway Club's exhibition. As it's held less than half a mile from our house, we normally make it every year - and it's worth going as the layouts do change from one year to the next. I must admit this wasn't a vintage show in my book. The actual trains will always be secondary for me but I love the scenery, my favourite setting being the English countryside from times gone by. This year there seemed to be more industrial and urban settings, or (heaven forbid!) those that concentrated purely on the trains and hadn't bothered much with the rest of the layout. That said I did take a lot of photos so will share a few of my favourites. This is close to my favourite type of scene, although it's in a larger scale than I usually prefer. I have an N gauge layout myself, so I tend to lean towards trains in a smaller scale but the one above was done really well. I like to be able to look at a photo and not be qui

A miniature Christmas

Image
After our successful trip to the Christmas Kensington Dollshouse Festival recently, I was determined to clear out our spare room so I could decorate my house for the festive season. After a few days of very hard work, the room is looking an awful lot better and tonight I was able to deck the halls, as they say. Much like in real life, I'd forgotten quite how many decorations I have... The first job is to get the tree in position although to be honest, it doesn't matter where it goes these days as I don't use the lights. When my dad first built my dollshouse I, for some unknown reason, felt the Christmas tree should have coloured flashing lights - so that's exactly what it has. The socket that connects to the plug on the tree Next year I am hoping to swap the bright lights (although you can actually adjust the brilliance on them as well) for more delicate white bulbs, though I'm not sure quite how easy this will be. I got over excited and put the fair

A visit to Mouse Town

Image
This weekend we made our annual visit to England's Medieval Festival at Herstmonceux Castle (more for Tim's benefit than mine but it is a good day out). While the majority of the sights and sounds are very much life size, we couldn't resist a visit to Mouse Town. A small tent houses a model - which must be around 1:12 scale - of a street scene in darkness. Amongst the shops are numerous mice, scurrying around and generally enjoying themselves. Mouse Town is home to a large collection of real mice. We've seen Mouse Town before but obviously each time the mice are doing something different so it's always enjoyable, perhaps more for us than others because we love the model. There's something magical about a mouse disappearing through a pub doorway though. There was a tense moment when a couple of the creatures were balanced precariously on a balcony (cue shouts from nearby children of 'he's going to jump') but fortunately they decided agai
