I love the little houses that others have made and decided to renovate a rather uninspiring birdhouse that I found.

On the roof

There's no place like home.

... but a couple of people are having a wedding in London tomorrow.

And everyone in the country has gone nuts to join in!  There are flags and bunting on the streets, shop windows are full of displays, people are arranging parties, and there have been all kinds of things on the tv and in the papers.  It has been impossible not to be influenced by it all.

So I give you... The Royal Wedding (in inchies)



Created from a newspaper special, postage stamp and some DIY mini-bunting.  Close up of my favourites.



The two that say "Everybody in the House of Love" refer to this.  I love it!

Although it is pouring with rain outside and everything looks grey, the first signs of spring are appearing - hazel catkins, snowdrops, elder budbursts, pussy willow and sticky horse chestnut buds.  The birds are starting to sing and I love it!

I made a set of inchies to celebrate.


And a close-up of my favourites.

Some photos taken on the nature reserve where I work.  I borrowed a digital camera for the day and had a go with the macro function, but most of those pice were poo!  These are the best of the lot.  I'd love to hear your comments, critiques and suggestions.
