10.  this weeks highlight is the real-life tooth fairies palace; milk teeth are being collected for an installation at Exeter museum called Palaces (those yellow looking things are the teeth), they aim to cover the entire structure with teeth.  pretty creepy.

  1. Oh my that real tooth fairy palace looks horrid :( I shall have to take a look at Queenies tea rooms as Wells isn't a million miles from me!

    1. Ooh if you are local(ish) you should definitely visit - the garish light fittings and the mean blueberry and lemon cake make it entirely worth the journey!

    1. I know - I had the same moment for a fraction of a second, then the picking and eating distracted me! x

    1. Thank you very much :) I am half feeling sad that summer seems to be running out but the other half of me is getting pretty excited for tights and autumnal colours! (and yes, it is not only a real life thing but a constant pointless temptation in my life, I so badly wish to be a member!) x
