Ooh, the smell of canvas!







Yesterday was so hot and sunny I decided it was a Day for Erecting Old Canvas Tents, and that is what I did! I had great fun trying to work out where all the poles went, and fiddling to my hearts content. Then I took them down again and packed them away in their canvas bags. These old tents really tell a story - I think about all the fun and excitement people must have had, planning their holidays, all their adventures in the sun and rain.... so much more romantic than a package holiday to the Costa Del something or other, don't you think? Well, I intend to use them, and I also have my beady eye on an old VW camper which I think is unwanted. Watch this space!

An old VW camper ??? Canvas tents ??? Hmmm, sounds like someone's getting ready for a fun summer !

Did a little post just for Tiddles (and his human alter ego) tonight, found a few of Tiddles' friends who send their greetings across the blogwaves...
