My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins
I've reached the final instalment of the series and what a finale. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey into the end of the world where all the adults have died leaving the children in charge.

International Tiger Day!
In honour of this day here is a cross stitch picture I did back in 2003. I really loved stitching this one. I remember taking it on holiday to Anglesey and would sit in the lounge of the B&B stitching. Lots of people took an interest in what I was doing, and it was nice… Continue reading International Tiger Day!
