Sunday Sketches and Our Beautiful World

 

 

It's been ages since I've joined in with

Sunday Sketches...

 

It was so great to get into Paige's little book now.

Maybe in under two years time, I'll have her's completed by her 21st!

The quotes I find for Paige are so different to the quotes for Hannah,
and are as individual and different as these sisters are....

Our Beautiful World........ and got a Feature over at Sketches in Thyme PL Style!

 

 

 

Our Beautiful World...

 

The theme this week is

 

 

HOME

 

I've been following the life of this leaf spider for months... and have even recorded in my Project Life album... it has been such a character...

 

Here 'Leafy' has worn out her leaf home to skeletal proportions to the point where she's revealed!

Hardly the place to hide herself... she needs a new home!

 

 

 

Whatsmore, a week later she got her new home,  and a partner...and even though her

leaf is blurred in the foreground (with both spiders in it),  the focussed leaf in the background is the nursery!   Yes... they curl a small leaf and in goes the babies away from the parents bedroom!

Their webs are works of art!  These are orb spiders.

 

Here's a pic of what a leaf-curling spider looks like...

 

 

 

 

 Not vicious, nor poisonous to humans.  Might cause some localised redness and swelling.

 

Anyway...

A New Fun Downton Abbey Resource......

 

 

 

I'm a great fan of Downton Abbey... AND in 2013 Paige and I was lucky enough to go on a 'Locations Tour' when we were in England...

 You can find the post HERE

A lovely person by the name of Jo Toader emailed to let me know of a new Downton Abbey resource created:

The Ultimate Map of Downton Abbey Locations: http://www.wayfair.co.uk/aresidence/2015/12/04/downton-abbey-filming-locations/

 

I've added Jo's words below just in case there is anyone else who might want to share this too!

And I'll edit my old post linked above and add this in as well.

 

 

Our map marks over 71 Downton Abbey filming locations, with pictures, information about where they are, what scenes they feature in and how you can visit them. Our hope is that fans of the show from all over the world can fulfil their Downton dreams and see the locations for themselves.

I thought this might be of interest to you and your readers, especially as the show is sadly coming to an end on Australian TV screens soon. You’re welcome to include the map in a post of your own and get creative with it (or just add it to your existing article so your readers can follow in your footsteps easily); you could perhaps write about your favourite of the Downton Abbey locations or put together a list of the spots you’d like to visit next time you’re here, for example. The map is free and easy to embed directly from Google Maps with the following code, so long as you accredit it to Wayfair.co.uk:

< iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=zth2XN15qXCY.kagBA1BhhFKc" width="640" height="480">

 

I hope this is of interest to you and if you do feature the map be sure to let me know (or tweet @WayfairUK)—we’ll be sharing related content and would be delighted to hear from you.

This is really exciting!

Scroll down on my side bar and you'll see the interactive map there already to play with!

So clever!!!

 

And I'm REALLY sad Downton Abbey has come to an end.
