Reasons to be Cheerful: Steampunk and Ladybirds #R2BC

 
Thank you everyone who joined in last week and shared the linky love. I hope you have had a chance to visit all the other happy linkers! Don't forget to comment and share each other's posts to make us all even more cheerful... Here are my reasons to be cheerful this week:

This was my final Anderson shelter:

3) Ladybird invasion
