Schools back - in 3 days!

School holidays for me were all about this :-

 

 

and then when things get tough my 10 year old son Teo

brings me this

 

 

(yes - he usually wants something)

but that's ok

 

Then I refer back to the bible

 

 

and soldier on ...

 

 

and on

 

 

and on

 

 

 

 

 

(just a few creations over the silly season)

 

hope you are all getting into the swing of 2014

 

I know I am :-)

This unidentified object was spotted near the coast a few weeks back!

Meet "Maisie" the Globe Trotter 1950s Bondwood caravan!

This is what she may have looked like in the 50's - with my added photo shopped logos!

 In the mean time I'll get back to what I do best .....
