Going visiting.

The humans went visiting at the weekend, and we were just dozing in our travel basket when a familiar voice called out “Ahoy! Are you in?” Vincent peered out and shouted hello to Messenger, who’d come to show us his bike.

A walk in the Sculpture Park

Esther has been on a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It’s a lovely park full of sculptures, and some indoor galleries. First stop, of course, was the cafe for a light snack.

Off to the Maker Fest!

Off to the Maker Fest!

Fury and I went to Liverpool Make Fest on Saturday. Fury felt right at home straight away on the Girls With Drills stand, and was glad she wore her teeshirt.

A trip to Tideswell.

A trip to Tideswell.

I accompanied the humans on a last minute trip to London to deliver a commission on Thursday, and on the way back, we stopped off with my good friend Messenger for the night. It was great to catch up with him and his friends.

Internal Fire!

Fury here: On the way home from holiday, the humans took me to visit Internal Fire – a museum of power! It was cracking, I love a big powerful engine.

A slice of pre-history…

Esther had a day out today, visiting some antiquities! She went to Castell Henllys Iron Age fort, where once upon a time Mrs Human dug holes in the ground. There are reconstructed roundhouses to look into!
