IT'S THE FIFTH, SO IT'S DOLL PHOTO DAY

Yes, it's that great time of the month doll day photo time!. So let's get started


First in is Gill's two dungaree girls , who are ready and waiting to get off on their holidays! It's a shame the weather's changed from hot to not! But they tell me, they can wait and once that temperature starts rising they'll be off to the seaside.





Here in the village, Hettie spent some time outside with some of the bears enjoying the sunshine between the showers ! 


Here we have Holly, from RoRoPo checking on the Elder flowers since she is this years Miss Elder. She has been busy helping her mum make lots of lovely jam, so now we all know where to go for a nice afternoon tea of scones with homemade Jam.


From across the pond , at Gregoropolis, we have Lulu and Lottie ready for some gardening or possibly mischief , they have not quite decided which they are in the mood for. . .. . . those boys best watchout if gardening loses the vote !


Meanwhile looking handsome, in their new shirts, Sasha and Miquel are intending to find a nice spot to sit out in the garden and enjoy some quiet time away from the others. I do hope the spot they choose is well hidden from a pair of buttons with a mischievous streak ! Or there could be chaos ! 


Meanwhile up north these two attractive young ladies, are trying to decide what to do with their mum, who seams incapable of taking a decent photo and even resorted to asking Norm, who is a very clever and willing but a DOG! Luckily for them and us, Merrick saved the day ;)


Norm's try was good but still needs some work before he tries doll photos but probably better than his mums. . . . just saying . . . . 




Luisa is out in the garden , enjoying a nice walk, while the weather is dry for a moment. She's planning on changing into some jeans and a big woolly if the sun doesn't come back soon.


Many thanks to everyone who has sent in some photos for doll day, still time to have your added.

JUNE 1ST STARTS WITH A SPLASH OF LILAC

 



That's right today is the first of June ! The weather has cooled down, so not flaming June as they say but I'm all for some cooler weather and a bit of rain , overnight, if possible.


Clementine is wearing a lovely new dress set by Ruth Hartley, in of course a William Morris print fabric, also in a lilac pink mix and Lilac seems to be the colour I am favouring this summer.

Several of the girl's are now wearing Lilac/ purple dresses at present and I decided just the other month, that the school uniform will be Purple and Royal Blue. 


So Nancy is wearing the first of the summer school uniform dresses.


Arabella ,in Catherine French dress, is not so sure about school uniforms unless they are for a private school, I've informed her she will be going to the village school like everyone else in the family, especially because the current government don't like private schools in case people get cleverer than they do.


Sienna is in a Ginny dress.


Libby is in a Vicki Chapman dress.

I gathered all the girls wearing lilac and purple together for a photo, naturally the wind started to gust, some of the dolls decided tp try and not stand properly but in the end I did manage to get a couple of photos before a gust destroyed the line up.

So from the left Nancy, Elizabeth, Arabella, Sienna, Clemmie and Libby.


Nancy, Elizabeth and Arabella 


Sienna, Clementine and Liberty

Well I only came on to wish you all a Happy Healthy fun filled June and to remind you to send in some photos for Doll photo day on the 5th.
