The Transport Museum, Coventry

Image
These fine old motors were on display in the Coventry Transport Museum, where Larry and I found ourselves during a holiday last year. It was raining and, fearful of getting soaked to the skin, we took shelter in the museum, little realising how vast it was inside. I expected to be inside the museum for half an hour at the most, but as it turned out, we were in there for the rest of the afternoon.  To me, one car is the same as another, but Larry is quite a connoisseur so he had a whale of a time. These pictures give a flavour of what was on show, but the more modern section was a WOW moment. Here is the link:  https://transport-museum.com/collection/default.aspx?gclid=Cj0KCQjws536BRDTARIsANeUZ5_-_Qdvqg-S1jQgY-BJD9TOJX2Wnfm1m7fMy0dvTIQ93NcoYs9AMP0aAvj5EALw_wcB

A Hamster Journal for a very special lady...

Image
During the lockdown I have been busy making journals and sewing. This is one I made for a very special lady who requested it.  I don't think I would have thought to make a hamster journal myself, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I hope she likes it too. The journal is handmade with a semi-soft cover and decorated inside with lots of pockets for keeping special bits and pieces.  I have also left a lot of the pages blank for her own decorations and writings. I used to keep hamsters myself many years ago although I never had a breeding pair.  In the main I think they are solitary animals.  They sleep all day and play all night so if you have one, be prepared for it to keep you up with its continuous running around in its wheel or trying to chew through the bars of its cage.
