Goodness, where is this year going? I can't believe we're nearly half way through March already. Time certainly does fly. Anyway, here's this month's camera clear out .........
A trip to the Wellcome Museum with L. This is a medical museum with quite a few interesting bits and bobs. It had been on our 'go to' list for a while and, whilst not huge, was a good afternoon's entertainment.
No, this photo isn't upside down, the model is actually hanging from the ceiling.
A light up 'identify the body parts' model:
Vegan coconut matcha balls in the cafe! I'm not usually a fan of matcha tea, but these were actually very nice:
The 'Beast from the East':
E was worried about Hamish getting too cold during the snowy period, so I took this photo of him enjoying an ear rub in front of the stove to send to her. It's a hard life being a house rabbit!
Snow deer!
Sorry, the coaster isn't showing up very well, it's supposed to be 2 seeds and is made by sandwiching moulded copper wire between 2 bits of glass. The colour is then put on the top piece and the whole lot fired in the kiln. Unfortunately, the blue beads at the base of the wire moved slightly in the kiln, so they don't line up.
Sock knitting and tea drinking - perfect for snowy weather:
A trip to the opera - best summed up by R who said 'Well there's three and a half hours that we'll never get back'!
A Mexican Street Food class at our local college. We made Frijoles de la Olla, Tomatillo Guacamole, Blue corn tortillas, Tacos al Pastor and Churros. I made the vegan equivalent of everything, eg, quinoa instead of pork for the tacos, and it was all yummy! If I'm ever lucky enough to go to Mexico, I'm buying a tortilla press as a souvenir!
The concert venue:
Toodle pip for now. xx
A busy month for all it would seem. Love the photo's of your house rabbit and the deer popping in. The birds are stripping the feeders nearly every day at the moment. It's on my to do list to fill them back up tonight before the next beast from the east arrives.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.

I don't think there's any worries about Hampshire getting cold, he looks quite snug there! I had a house rabbit once, Billy, and he was gorgeous, such a character. He had his own little bed but he used to throw the dog off his and spread out on that instead! Xx
ReplyDeleteSorry - flippin predictive text put 'Hampshire' not 'Hamish'!!
DeleteI recognise St Georges in the last picture I think, lovely. It sounds like a good month, love the picture of Hamish, and the Mexican food looks very good. Pretty things you made in your art/craft class as well, a shame that not enough people wanted to do the painting though. Have a good weekend. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteWell recognised, CJ. Yes, it is St. George's. I'd never been before and it was lovely. I was a little thrown by the fact that it had a cafe and bar, but am I right in thinking that it doesn't function as a church anymore? It was a great concert venue anyway. xx
DeleteSounds like March has been full already. Loved your comment about R and Carmen. Men! Your art courses sound fun. It’s time I enrolled for something dynamic. It must be lovely to have a musical daughter :) B x
ReplyDeleteYour glasswork is absolutely beautiful, I'd love to do a class like that.xx
ReplyDeleteYou are a busy lady! Love your panel and a coaster. I am sure you enjoyed making them. Hamish looks as gorgeous as ever. Sorry the opera wasn't up to much.
ReplyDeleteA Mexican Street Food class! Lucky you! Wish I could join.

Sorry this is so late- we’ve had no internet for ten days. Love the Hamish photo. Could you knit him a jumper to keep warm in snowy weather? I love your seed coaster. I think the slightly wonky bits add to it. Impressed with the Mexican cooking too xx
