Old book times

This little book was picked up at Heselden hats Which I'm sad to say its closing down this year, I shall be inconsolable!
 Here's a few pages with sketches and photographs taken by the author Ernest Thompson Seton He has a prolific writer of animal stories and animal documenting like an  Sir Richard  Attenborough.

like Sir Atterborough (with a better moustache)
  


 




My favourite, I think it's really haunting




I don't think I'd chance that.
 
A little surprise left in between the pages of pressed flowers and leaves!
I love Johnnie!

Here's lookin at you kid ;)


Today is the last Saturday before school starts back, I have a husband asleep after a night shift and an emergency work call out at Country Brides Faversham...what you gonna do? 
Take the son along of course :)
 
Erm not this one then son?
Much better mummy! Dapper Chappie
 


 Then after work we whisked off to Whistable for a warm if blustery wander along the beach and in and out of shops.
 I love Whistable I grew up there but it can be very expensive!
Although you can still find the odd shop that doesn't just pander to tourists, Like Valentines its a shop that sells vintage furniture and home wears at really good prices.
It also has one of my favourite second hand book shops Oxford Street Books
 and we didn't go today but I LOVE the library.

Excuse the frown it was very blustery!
