Tara...Manky is a great word and a good thing to be. Tara always makes a beeline for the messiest thing she can possibly be doing so they don;t grow out of it. In fact yesterday she was playing in the river and scooping up moss off the bottom to make a big pile so she could sit on it!Swirlyartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604277693684703535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-67305372879720450672013-07-26T10:59:23.001+01:002013-07-26T10:59:23.001+01:00She does look like shes having a great time in tha...She does look like shes having a great time in that mud!

Yes, the shorts are from H&M, although they were a gift from Dulcie's auntie. I thought they looked too small when I saw them, but I ended up having to take them in at the waist because they kept falling down. I say "take them in" as if I tailored them. Actually, I just did a couple of stitches at each side in glaringly obvious red thread as it was the closest colour I had to hand. It worked though! dropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-84794256867122792572013-07-25T21:29:32.635+01:002013-07-25T21:29:32.635+01:00I think Manky used to be a favourite word of mine ...I think Manky used to be a favourite word of mine when I was young.
