Hello and welcome to this month’s Five Among Friends!
This month’s questions were created by Lauren from MrsHippo&Me
I live in Newton Abbot, Devon.
Newton Abbot is a little market town located on the River Teign with a population of around 23,500 people (Thanks Mr Google!)
It’s apparently known for its historic cheese & onion fayre…… :/ How exciting.
I have to admit to not being the biggest fan of Newton Abbot, but I do love the surrounding areas such as Torquay which is literally 10 minutes down the road.
We rent a 3 bedroom terraced house…..This one to specific
Probably my bedroom – because its where I sleep, and also where I do my hair and make up and often Tyne will want to play in there coz he likes the mirror on the wardrobe.
I spend the evenings in the living room or the office, but most days I’ll be out so I’d say the bedroom is definitely where most time is spent.
That’s a tough one – I’d probably have to say this photo of Tyne, because its the first one we had of him – its his Bounty photo from the hospital and it sits in the centre of the mantel.
Definitely photos – I think when you live in rented accomodation that photos are what make it feel like home. I love having them dotted around everywhere!
Hmm I’ve really struggled with this one. I’m sure there are things that other people would find strange but I can’t think of anything that I personally find strange.
I guess maybe this print might be strange to some people if you don’t know the story behind it?
It’s a print from the Sea Odyssey giant puppets who did a 3 day display in Liverpool for the Titanic anniversary – the little girl was supposed to be a Girl who’s father was lost on the ship, and the diver was returning a letter of his to her – the giant puppets made their way separately across Liverpool for 3 days and people would turn up to see them, eventually they were united on the last day in the city centre.
I thought it was so cool and I’m so excited that they’re doing it again this year!
I guess some people might also find my fairy figurines strange, but I just love fairies and I’ve always collected these.
You may also have noticed in photos such as these….
