DOLLS FROM NORWAY, HUNGARY,BERMUDA, CANADA AND TUNISIA (and my walk through the Forestry)

NORWAY, HUNGARY, BERMUDA, CANADA AND TUNISIAN DOLLS

I have recently found a Hilda S. Ege doll from NORWAY, and a well made doll from the Debrecen region of HUNGARY. (There is also a similar doll to this one already on the website, but the costume has a slight variation, and this one is in the more unusual size of 12" high). Also listed are dolls from BERMUDA, CANADA and TUNISIA.

For more information about the dolls, and more pictures, please see the website. Thank you. Carole.

MY WALK THROUGH THE FORESTRY:

I recently enjoyed a very invigorating walk of approximately four miles, through some Forestry in Mid Wales.

It was on a cold but sunny day and there was a lot to see, including waterfalls and a cave, different rock formations, and a panda in the woods! The temperature was approximately 2 degrees centigrade.

ONE OF THE BRIDGES WE CROSSED

This one was a shakey bridge allowing just two people to cross at a time.

A BROOK, WITH ICICLES ABOVE

There was a sheer drop to this brook.

A CAVE LEADING TO A VERY BEAUTIFUL SITE

After walking somewhat precariously through this very dark cave, through muddy puddles and over very slippery stones, we reached the most beautiful sight! It was the most beautiful waterfall with icicles all around the bottom. (See picture below). If you look carefully at the photo of this cave, you can just see the light at the end of the tunnel. (The big white spot at the front of the photo is reflection from my camera flash).

THE WATERFALL WITH ICICLES ALL AROUND THE LOWER PART

The photo does NOT do it justice, but if you click onto it to enlarge, it can be seen a little better.

THE PANDA IN THE WOODS!

The "panda" is my grandaughter wearing her panda hat! (Sorry. I couldn't resist that one!) Here she is writing up her diary.

DOLLS FROM INDIA, AUSTRIA, NETHERLANDS and MALTA

INDIA, AUSTRIA, MALTA and NETHERLANDS dolls

(But first I apologise for the delay in adding more dolls. This was due to a family bereavement).

This is a photograph of a very special lady. The lady was my very dear Mum, who passed away very suddenly in January, at the age of 92. In this photograph, which was taken just a few months ago, she is holding her youngest great-grandson.

(God bless you, MUM).
