I've shared my favourite things about my home, but having had a interior designer visit made me think it would be nice to do an manse tour. (Manse is just another word for vicarage, pastor's or minister's house).
I love looking round other people's houses, but the thought of sharing our entire home makes me uncomfortable. And requires too much cleaning and tidying! Instead, I've shared some things that reflect our lives and that I really like. Hope you enjoy the tour!
Tea and coffee will be served at the end and your soundtrack for the tour is David Bowie. Loud.
I remember seeing pictures of Ziggy in my big sister's Jackie magazines and watching him on Top of the Pops, thinking he looked and sounded amazing. To the sounds of parental tutting and muttering. It's a shame that the lack of Tops of the Pops now means the Tubblet will miss that particular rite of passage. When I was older, I borrowed his albums from the record library and taped them. (Killing music, I know). He made growing up in South London cool. And gave it a great soundtrack.

Bye and thank you for coming! See you soon.
I love the very patriotic Dalek patrolling the hallway :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the coffee!
My pleasure! Thank you for commenting :)
DeleteThanks for the trip around your house!! I want a Derek the Darlec, preferably one that also cleans the floor. Did you ever see David Bowie live? I would have loved to have seen him as Ziggy Stardust.

Too young to see Ziggy and didn't see any of the later tours sadly. I did see Alan Rickman on stage though. Another sad loss :(
DeleteYou really do have some great bits and bobs in your house - they are fab! Especially that dalek #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves that dalek. There have been a few attempts to remove him, but so far i have foiled them all. He's great :)
DeleteLove that dalek! My OH is obsessed with Dr Who so we have an ever growing collection of figures which keep escaping the 'man cave'. :D #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteI love Who while my OH loves Star Wars. I've given up. All I ask is that it's not tacky. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing snippets of your home... I love the eclectic mix of bits and bobs x
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteWhat a great idea! Love that we get a little idea of you by small parts of your home! #weekendblogshare
ReplyDeleteFeel free to steal, I'm pretty sure I did :)
DeleteThis post made me smile. It also made me covet the Dalek so much!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it made you smile. I believe the Daleks are still available ...
DeleteOh, David Bowie. What a loss in the industry.
ReplyDeleteHey, lovely tour. :)
It's not been a great few weeks - Lemmy, Bowie, Rickman :( Glad you liked the tour and thank you for visiting
DeleteGreat post you have some lovely things thanks for linking to the Binkylinky

DeleteLovely items Thanks for linking up to the #BinkyLinky
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting each week :)
DeleteThis is a great idea! Love seeing your things. Derek the Dalek is amazing! (& I like Bowie's music too. The Ziggy era has always been my favourite!) #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to love Derek! :)
DeleteOh thank you for having us around! I love that duck and the Dalek is so cool xx
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! The duck was my first ever blogging freebie. (I know, the glamour!) I think Derek is going to have to some more posts.
DeleteIt's great to see inside people's houses isn't it? There's something so fascinating, there's rightly been a lot of Bowie soundtracks, with many of us re-discovering his back catalogue and realising just how extensive it is. Thanks for linking to #PoCoLo x
ReplyDeleteIt is! I love a good nose around other people's places. Glad you enjoyed the tour
DeleteLove the Vinylmations - we saw hundreds of those in Downtown Disney, Florida when we visited in the summer. I think they're amazing! :) I do love to see inside people's homes, we all love to be nosy sometimes don't we?! Thanks for linking to #PoCoLo x
ReplyDeleteRev T loves them too. I like the chance element - you never know what you'll get :) It's great looking around other people's houses. You're right, everyone loves a good nose
DeleteWhat a great idea this is! Love the Dalek.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to #KCACOLS and I hope to see you back again on Sunday x
What a lovely tour!! Thank you for showing us some parts of your house. I love David Bowie. How sad is that he is not with us anymore!! Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. I would love to see you again on Sunday! :-) x
