Backpack Tatty RD & King Arthur ....

And look who was at the front door telling everyone to hurry up, lets go!!


If i was in her shoes i would have been hammering to get out too!! lol


impatient little things we two are! hehehe


from Suzie ....


Guess who is excited about going out today :) she was first to the front door hehehe


I had such a spectacular day today and it really helped  me to focus. I did however wonder just how unfit I'd become as I was absolutely cream crackered by the time I got to the top. But wow what a view and what energy that place has. Little Tatty found the place amazing too but decided my Handbag was a great place to have a rest. Merlin's cave really fascinated her but we came when the tide was in so couldn't go in and see what was there. It is incredible to see how much of it remains even though it was built 1233'ish.


I have to go back again with plenty of money as I have seen loads down there that is truly gorgeous. We also didn't get chance to go into the King Arthur museum so maybe we can save that trip for when my Tatty will be here. Little Tatty did buy a couple of little momentoes which will return with her in her backpack. Oh and Auntie Suzie has got to make her a Lady Guinevere dress so I'll see what I can do but may not get it done before she makes her way home. Will send it separately to you when I have completed it. 


AS there are soo many lovely photos of the adventure here is the link, so you can all see the lovely mystical place of Camalot, King Arthur & Merlin's cave..... ENJOY!!

Backpack Tatty Cornish tales ... Work placement!

Oh yes .. she has been to work!! 


Hiya Mummy Tatty :))

Well as I didn't want to leave Tatty jnr at home alone all day I thought it would be good for her to come with me to work. Unfortunately the photos I took are not allowed to be published due to the fact that we are the only ones in the world that make this specific product. So I've come up with hopefully an interesting image of Tatty's week with me.

So we start the week with getting up before the crack of dawn and start our journey to work and guess who wanted to drive lol.
As the journey takes 45 minutes we see the sun rise every morning and obviously with me driving this week (I car share to cut down on fuel expenses) I couldn't take any photos of the spectacular sight this is. But I've managed to poach a couple of photos to give you an idea. We obviously go through the Gateway of Cornwall every day so have caught that one for the sunrise image as this was where Tatty and I saw it most days this week.
She giggled at one sign which Mummy Tatty if I recall correctly you had a laugh at too.
Well we got to our destination and Tatty was welcomed with open arms and soon got put to work with me. I'm a service Technician for a company that I'm very proud of and very honored to be a part of. They make Specialist Medical Equipment for Keyhole Surgery so Tatty got very excited as she had told me she loves playing the game Operations *eek* Hope she's not thinking I test this stuff on real people. For anyone that wants to know more about where I work http://www.lotusultrasonicscalpel.com/
Well Tatty also fell in love with my fireman calender and went all gooey eyes lol
She also loved the view from my workshop window, a beautiful pool that always looks inviting no matter what the weather as it is an indoor pool with big glass doors and windows, similar to the one I've attached. The views from the place were spectacular and a wonderful place to sit out and have lunch. 
So we have been working hard all week to make sure those surgeons have the equipment they need to get their patience better. Now we're going to have a relaxing weekend before we go off Excalibur hunting. 

Lots of Love and Hugs 

Little Tatty and Suzie xxxxxxxxxx
