Mine is finally getting a knitted teddy bear to look reasonable. I am hopeless at faces on any toy I knit. These little teddies looked so easy, but the first two I made are currently starring in their own Horror Movie called "How to terrify a Child."

I don't fancy roast heron, though I believe it was a delicacy at Tudor royal courts.

wow what a beauty, it looks idyllic.

JessM Sat 26-May-12 18:56:33

Oh good shots!

greenmossgiel Sat 26-May-12 18:58:05

He's beautiful, Elegran!

Anagram Sat 26-May-12 18:58:50

Those are wonderful, Elegran - I am impressed!

I did bin the duds and chose the best ones, but he really was gorgeous, difficult not to get good shots when he stood still for ages. Two swans came ashore right beside him and he just ignored them - and they ignored him.

Beautiful pics Elegran. You've really captured a special moment there.

Lovely photography!

I have DD and DGD staying overnight! I had forgotten how wearing 11/12 month olds were!
Nothing is safe! My glasses (spectacles) and my glass (vodka)

I'm going to have to rearrange my house before the next visit?

Elegran Sat 26-May-12 19:25:22

You will run out of high shelves to put things on, Jeni

jeni Sat 26-May-12 19:26:01

Don't tell me! grin

When DD1 was that age I drank out of a plastic camping mug. Saved a lot of stress grin

Lovely photos, elegran smile Nice idea about sprinkling the ashes.

Lovely photos E - the heron looks so inscrutable. smile

Jeni I have cleared everything from boob-height down - a 2 yr. old and a 4yr. old arriving later!

glassortwo Sat 26-May-12 19:46:56

Ella46 Sat 26-May-12 19:50:30

Elegran that sounds really peaceful and calm, a lovely idea to take some to all the different places. smile flowers

Just spent the afternoon with my ds, dil and grandchildren. 7month old whizzing up and down the hall and kitchen in her baby walker, laughing her little head off smile
She reaches her arms up to me now when she sees me and smiles, I am her slave forever!

jeni Sat 26-May-12 19:55:00

I shall have to find an antique feeding glass bottle, for me!grin

Elegran Sat 26-May-12 19:55:13

It means I have to get out and about to go to all these places too. The city is full of beautiful places to walk (I have thought of 12 without any effort, and more will come to me), and there will be memories everywhere. Good memories, though, and worth revisiting.

Just got back from seeing my 2 grandsons ar their home where we had a barbeque. Heaven

Elegran Sat 26-May-12 19:57:10

glass I read that as plastic bags, not Bags Wondered why you would want to drink vodka out of a plastic bag. Whatever turns you on.

Bags Sat 26-May-12 19:59:30

Well, at that time it was mainly tea and it meant she could have the cup to play with when I'd finished, and drink pretend tea.... She certainly put a lot of effort into getting the mug!

Butternut Sat 26-May-12 19:59:36

All those places to hold such memories E. flowers

jeni Sat 26-May-12 19:59:48

I scattered my DH's ashes off Berry Head in Torbay where we used to base our yacht. I actually scattered them from the yacht, then patted her, said goodbye and sold her!

I hope my children don't do the same with the QE! They can't afford to buy her to sell her!
