Default Clangers

The Clangers live inside a small blue cratered planet which is covered in metal lids from which they hide from the cold and the numerous objects falling from space. They share their worldwith the Soup Dragon, who lives in the soup well and who provides the Clangers with green soup, the Glow Buzzers which provide light for the Clangers caves and tasty Glow Honey,and the conjuring froglets, inexplicable orange, oval stick-legged creatures which travel in a top hat and live in a vertical pond deep within the planet.

Their society is courteous and non-violent, nor is there any glorification of conflict. They enjoy the simple things in life, eating blue string pudding, watering various plants with the Cloud and radioing the Iron Chicken which lives in spiky nest somewhere in the Clangers’ planets sky. But a Clanger’s life is far from dull, theirs is a world where music grows on trees and were notes, when collected may be used to propel space borne craft. It is a place where the most unexpected things can happen and usually do.

Oh Gawd, I'd forgotten about The Clangers Piskie, thanks for that.

Prolly should go in the cooking section but anyone fancy having a go at making this?

Small Blue Planet

A long way away in a far corner of the sky, you can see, on a clear night, a faint blue-coloured star. It is really a planet but it is such a small and unimportant one that it doesn't have a name. For one family, however, it is a very important place. It is home.

Ahh! Soup Wells! Wellie's Soup!
I tried my Green Soup: Courgette & Mint out on Trousers over the weekend. He took one sip, and refused point blank to eat the rest... The mint WAS a bit strong though!

Ooh Wellie,
Now that you've finished making the incredible long sleeved jumper for Trousers, perhaps the happy couple's baby would like a Clanger

I'm not either Hazel - I'm WIDER!
However, that's part of the back of a jumper. I'm part way up the front - sleeves still to come. Just thought I'd give you a flavour. I might have enough pink left for a clanger though!
