Remembered today as - not withstanding your cute little'uns (Eldest less little of course), and the fishies, I thought Land of Green Ginger was the title of my favouite childhood book! Looking it up on wiki, it isn't a childrens book. Mine was about magic carpets, do you know which one it was? I want to re-read it!<br /><br />Re: nosey cats, I am so pleased my neighbourhood cat may be yours, vix's OR Sheila's! Are we all sharing a cat??

I'm 18, and have lived in Hull all my life, and to see so much love for a place that is so often put down made me very happy. I love Hull, not really in a pride sort of way and I don't support the football, but more so for the things you've described, as well as its more quirky and gritty bits.<br />Anyways, your skirt is lovely and I like what you wrote above about the colour pink!<br />SofieSofie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755965817561947642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-47223814419325410522013-08-23T12:46:33.207-07:002013-08-23T12:46:33.207-07:00I love that skirt, I always regret giving my to th...I love that skirt, I always regret giving my to the charity shop. It's so beautiful, so bright. Hull looks like great fun, it's a bit more eccentric and elegant that I imagined it would be. I do love an Aquarium, especially comparing fish to people I know.

I think it's the pattern in each square of fabric that it is made from - so exquisite - and all those wonderful colours. Lifts this from ordinary patchwork to a work of art!

It looks fab, you've taken some great photos to show it off.<br />I love aquariums, and never tire of the Sealife Centre here in Brum.<br />That patchwork skirt is truly gorgeous, I love how you've styled it with the peasant top. I'm really impressed that you made that tote bag yourself, and it's a fabulous print.<br /><br />Annie xxxAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045014786676607827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-11718690126515740782013-08-22T06:00:05.736-07:002013-08-22T06:00:05.736-07:00I love the skirt Emma sent you, it's so pretty...I love the skirt Emma sent you, it's so pretty I think I'd have to have it hanging up somewhere just to look at all its colours, and it looks so perfect with your peasant blouse. Is that your new sandals I see peeking out on your Hull pictures? I've never been to Hull but your photos make it look a much more interesting place than I imagined, I love all the statues, especially Philip Larkin looking like he's just on his way to work at the library. Sad to think of the Voyage statue being sold for scrap metal of all things. And one of the things I like about having kids is using them as an excuse to go to aquariums and suchlike, it makes up for the times,like right now when Jake has pushed me off the chair and I'm typing standing up. I guess that's him telling me I've had enough computer time. xxCityScape Skybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664705819999740018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-86850836170940005512013-08-22T04:16:13.632-07:002013-08-22T04:16:13.632-07:00Wow!

It looks so fabulous with the blouse, you really are so delish Curtise! Hull looks really lovely and rather quirky, which means it's probably a great place to get lost and found and discover hidden nooks:). The Phoenix hasn't described Hull in flattering terms so I'm sure he would be pleased to see it looking all shiny and clean:).
