WOYWW 369 ...with additional photos

I can't believe how quickly last week whizzed by - I didn't join in last week as I wasn't sure how I would be able to return visits…..Oh!What am I talking about? WOYWW of course, at the moment hosted by Lunch Lady Jan while Julia carries on up the road of recovery! 
I'm not sure whether this is allowed but I have two desks to show you…
Last week I was going to show you the beautiful little package I received from Michelle…

My Anniversary ATC and the lovely little bits and pieces she included

I also had my Paper Artsy win choices to show you!

This week I have some treats from Woolfest(photos in the post before this one)

  

The stencils at the bottom only cost me £2 each and as you can see the Pink Pig sketchbooks were at a bargain price - I had been waiting for the shop at the Rheged centre to get the sizes I like back in stock! The rest of the treats were mainly fabrics for making brooches although …do you see the brayer?….free with a small round Gelliplate that also happened to be a very good price!

Yesterday I promised some photos that I took around the caravan..

The first night we spent there I looked out at around quarter to midnight to see this beautiful sky.
The next night was a little cloudy but still beautiful

While I was taking photos a Barn Owl flew past - I was so shocked, we had no idea that there was one around, so when I told the Warden's wife she was also excited!

These were taken at 4.00am - I had to get up - you know, call of nature, and when I looked out this looked so beautiful.

At around 6.00am it was like this looking down the road in the caravan park.
 I also promised some bird photos

 The Dunnock is a regular visitor

 The male Blackbird was on feeding duties for his two offspring - the nest was in our hedge and we had watched him on feeding duties for a few weeks - we think first for the female, then for the babies!  

The Robin tried to get the last out of the coconut!

 Baby Sparrow alone in the hedge...

 …found his brothers and sisters..and waited for food..

while the adults helped themselves.

We woke up to find the feeder in the middle of the lawn - we had heard crows in the tree outside our bedroom - we think they were the cheerleaders for the culprit who pulled this off!
As you can see - the old bird table was the worst for wear…we bought a new one!

 Oh Dear! I do hope you are still here…I do tend to ramble don't I?

Thanks for looking, Chris
