Where have all the weeks gone? The holidays are coming to a close and I have had a ball camping in Dorset with my family, where I took a lot of photographs of cows on behalf of my animal-mad son!?
I also came across a shop in Poole called "Ginger Pop Shop", which celebrates the collaboration between the author Enid Blyton who used to holiday in Dorset, and the illustrator of her books Eileen Soper. Other than the connection between the two, it is an interactive museum and nostalgic step back in time to the 1940's.
One of the rooms is set up realistically as a living room, complete with all the furniture, and even childrens toys. They encourage and allow you to touch and interact with old telephones, typewriters, toys and piano, which my daughter loved, and it inspired me to take more photos.
My sewing classes at The Rainbow Rooms were great fun and I was amazed by the sewing skills of all the children, especially the boys! Thank you Kate and Penny for a very enjoyable four weeks. Naturally my six year old daughter who also loves to sew came with me on a couple of the "monster making" classes. Here is the evidence!... It looks like I shall be working again with The Rainbow Room at half term in October, so watch this space.
