I had a busy week last week on Monday I was involved with a ‘Treats’ all day  animation workshop at the Quad Derby. I worked with 5  lovely children all of which worked really well as a team and produced an film all about ‘A Groovy Planet’ we had aliens with afros, a disco ball for the planet and lots of lovely dancing Aliens. I maybe in the Derby Evening Telegraph!!

On Friday I also started a 6 week course at Derby University, The first week was great fun and looking forward to next week. Derby University serve the best  Decaffeinated  Tea and you never guess what picture was on the sachet……

Poole – a holiday that gives me more inspiration

My husband & I went to Poole for a week; we had a really relaxing time eating and drinking too much.  We had rain, rain and more rain  then from Wednesday glorious sunshine –so we managed to get a little bit of a healthy glow! 

Brownsea Island Tour

Wednesday 8^th- A day  to remember on Brownsea Island, We travelled on a boat to the island then enjoyed an hour’s Red Squirrels guided tour with a National Trust guide-which was most informative and enjoyable.

 We managed to see about 9 magical sightings of the little furry creatures mainly on the ground, but a few were up in the trees. The colours amongst the forest were fantastic as the  sunshine bounced off the  Autumn changing leaves and a glimpse of a red shiny coat bobbing along the branches. 

 Our guide informed us that the island was getting prepared for Autumn Watch and showed us the building they were stopping in and there was also a lot of new bird boxes and feeders around the Island.

 After the walk we had just enough time to have tea and cake with the really friendly and cheeky peacocks which tried to pinch my cake and for a moment  one peacock had his head in a bag of crisps!

Thursday 9^th 

Robin James Aveda Lifestyle Salon-Poole

I enjoyed a pamper morning - Three treatments; an Indian head massage with Jasmine oils, Hopi Ear Candles and a refreshing eye treatment all extremely relaxing and calming  especially when polished of with a lovely blend of Aveda comforting tea and a biscuit.

Talking of Tea-we stopped to have tea to escape the rain and my husband found a duck in his cup!!- (see photo-it will explain)
