'Deep underground, everyone cuddled in for an evening of stories'.
I couldn't figure out where my little monsters lived, and as so often happens, on a decompression walk up Kinder Scout, among the soft fragrant mosses and tumbling boulders, I came across my answer.

An illustration in ink on paper, with digital cleanup. An olive green monster has three little 'children' monsters in her lap, she is reading to them from a book called 'Space'. They are cuddled up on a soft beanbag textured with mosses, on a rug woven from grasses. Long fronds of soft grass and moss hang from the ceiling, and glowing bugs shine in the corners. Toys are strewn around the floor, a space shuttle, dinosaurs, and a raggedy Anne doll. Everyone is cosy.
A photo of a mound of boulders, taken on a walk in the Peak District. The boulders are cartoon like in their roundness, and look a bit silly to my eye, which is why they stuck in my mind as a possible home for my monsters.
A sketch of the entrance to the monsters home, a door into the boulder mound, and a Matt that says 'cave sweet cave'. Text on the image says 'well maybe they live in a cave, like up atop kinder scout'.
