Many thanks for all the best wishes for my birthday yesterday. It was nice to have the day off work. We went up to Liverpool for the European Outdoor Film Festival and met up with Helen Smith and Michael Smith to discuss our next ski trip. Great day.

This weekend sees the start of our weekend long craft fairs, starting on the 10th and 11th with this beauty in the grounds of Glynllifon College. Come and see us in the Blue Slate workshop - keeping warm by the kiln!... facebook.com/glowbeanie/pos…

This is where GlowBeanie will be this Saturday and Sunday. Come along and see what goodies are on offer. facebook.com/events/2200586… facebook.com/glowbeanie/pos…

Happy New Year to everybody. We are having a quiet night in with a few films. Need to keep an eye on Mr V as he has had a poorly tummy for the last few days. Yesterday wasn't pretty! Probably had too many Christmas mice! Here is one with his Nain.

Getting ready for a big craft trade show running from Sunday to Tuesday in Harrogate. Been a bit lazy this week so need to get myself moving and finish off the preparations. Also get a nice long weekend out of it.... facebook.com/glowbeanie/pos…

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes for yesterday. I must be a creature of habit as dear old facebook reminded me that last year I had the day off with Ben Beachell and went Christmas shopping in Liverpool... facebook.com/10000816198510…

Amanda Williams how about this - will make you feel better. facebook.com/10000816198510…

Day 7 of the Tails of Bob, and we have had some progress in that, in there still supervised meetings, Virgil and Bob aren't growling at each other as much - until, that is, Bob gets the high ground when she jumps on the worktop!

Further tails of Bob ... Bob made a bid for freedom this morning when she managed to get through the cat flap. Fortunately we have two so she only made it to the utility room where the only thing at risk was... facebook.com/10000816198510…

Bob had a little adventure this afternoon. We went outside into the big wide world of the garden - on her harness and lead I hasten to add. Didn't let her stay out for long as it was getting dark. Tomorrow we will do a bit more. Might stop her bashing the cat flap!

Tails of Bob - Bob had a wild Saturday night out at the Kitkat Club last night, but doesn't know that I know. When I went downstairs at 1am for my usual sleepless night cup of tea, neither her nor Virgil were... facebook.com/10000816198510…

Tails of Bob - after Saturday night's big adventure Bob hasn't been that keen to go outside again in a rush, and I can't blame her in this stormy weather. Bob and Virg have a mutual habit of pinching leftovers... facebook.com/10000816198510…

Tails of Bob (and Virgil) - I have come to the conclusion that Virgil is a bully (aka coward). For years I resisted getting a second cat as he fought all comers. Since Bob arrived there has been quite a bit of... facebook.com/10000816198510…
