The Grand Tour


Morning all, time for our new challenge at Tag-Along (and ATC's) where Pinky has chosen the theme of Travel and as usual there's the Anything Goes option. We have another lovely set of tag shaped dies to give away to the months lucky winner and as always the three of us will each choose our favourite from the months entries. Even if tags and ATC's are not your things, why not given them a go?

I've decided my couple above are from the Edwardian era, recently married from an aristocratic background and doing the Grand Tour (humour me please!) and currently in the Eternal City which is one of my favourites. 

The base tag is A&C, the stamping various Penny Black stamps and the tickets and elegant couple TH ephemera. Finished with some fancy twine and a bow. The theme at A/G in a Card Free Zone is 'I'd wear that' so think my tag might fit.


My ATC uses images from my Gecko Galz win a few weeks ago. I never fail to think of Princess Diana when I look at photos of The Taj Mahal. She looked so sad sitting there in the red jacket, purple shoes and skirt, her marriage was falling apart which to this day I find so sad and the fact she's not our Queen. There's a new challenge at ATC's around the World so am linking up.

Our Holly is poorly and having surgery on Tuesday. After losing both Daisy and Poppy this year we were devastated this week to discover that she has an aggressive tumour on her chest. She's no spring chicken so surgery comes with it's own dangers, I'm praying it's successful and she can enjoy a little longer with us. 

I'll be back tomorrow and again Sunday, posts like buses this weekend.
