Galt School Puzzle

I love old wooden puzzles especially the Galt ones. I was trying to stop buying them as I don't really have space to display them but my other half picked this one up at a charity shop yesterday-so that's ok! I love that it is such a  sensible subject and also the way the wood is used within the image. The houses in the background look very much like our home.

Peppa Pig World

I became a fan of the Peppa Pig merchandise long before my children had me hooked on the animation. Surely we all NEED a Peppa Pig Caravan!! So I was very excited when I heard that Peppa Pig World had opened this Spring just along the coast. We popped along last week and were all very impressed with the rides especially Miss Rabbit's Helicopter Flight.

All Change!

Have been giving the toy cupboard a spring clean to make way for some new friends! The owl is by the Early Learning Centre. You can press one foot to move the hands on the clock and the other to open his eyes to reveal the time numerically. Open Your Eyes published in 1964 is a recent gift. Thank You x. It is written by Roz Abisch and illustrated by Boche Kaplan.

I love this Slush Puppie cup that I picked up at the weekend. I can't remember how long I have had the little sweet box but it reminds me of my childhood.

Looking at these images reminds me of the days I used to catch the No.22 along the Kings Road to work. It was always slightly nerve wracking hopping on and off! I absolutely love the 'This is' series illustrated by M. Sasek and my dog eared collection of Ladybird Books.
