secret house in the country part deux

Partly because I am a nosey parker and partley just because I cant resist taking pictures of Mistie's house its so beautiful that I notice more details of perfection every time i visit!note the awesome finger puppet collection, the view from misty's window and the amazing tea cosey! cant say more than 'dream house' oh and 'the golden seed' project we have been working on will be soon easier to follow in the form of a blog we are currently setting up to engage with people as it progresses. so watch this space for more information on that soon!

title mag

I have been featured in this months issue of TITLE MAG an online magazine.
Its always strange reading something about yourself- and something that has been written from an interview that isnt necessarily - in context with the question originally asked or that has been elaborated on.
Roald Dahl is not an IIlustrator but the most amazing children's/author that ever lived - how is it that the U.S do not seem to know this? this general assumption made from experience of talking to friends from the U.S in the past and them saying 'Roald who?'
on of my favorites has to be ESIO TROT

ESIO TROT, ESIO TROT,
TEG REGGIB REGGIB!
EMOC NO, ESIO TROT,
WORG PU, FFUP PU, TOOHS PU!
GNIRPS PU, WOLB PU, LLEWS PU!
EGROG! ELZZUG! FFUTS! PLUG!
TUP NO TAF, ESIO TROT, TUP NO TAF!
TEG NO, TEG NO, ELBBOG DOOF!
