Travelling folk and carousels

Today I am going about a mile down the lane to do some lettering and lining work on a fairground ride for a one of my fellow "pikeys" his place looks a bit like Fred Dibnah's but full of ancient fairground rides and such items, he lives in a towing van behind the workshop/shed,and is partial to a roll up and a drink,hold the roll up and pass the whisky brother.

Blues in the 50,s

This , my latest acrylic on canvas, size 7"x5", of monday morning blues at Treeton Colliery in 1955 as suffered by many of us,unbelievably took me six weeks to complete,it just would not materialise into the vision in my head.

HELP !

Help is needed to escape from the incessant drip drip of propoganda by the government and media about some wedding or other taking place soon,it seems the scroungers named the royal family are adding another to their ranks , and we are being battered by propoganda about this unhappy event,all suggestions (within our limited budget) to escape this calamitous day will be seriously considered,the last one when his parents were married we went on a train trip to whitby,and to this day have never seen that wedding,other than short clips sprung on us by surprise by the media.
Just think girls,if you emulated this young woman you would never have to worry about money again, getting a job,paying bills, etc. because the mugs who are the British public will pick up all the tabs.

Ducklings hatched

The wild duck lodging in our back garden has hatched out her brood and will probably be taking them the 100 yards to the dyke, maybe tomorrow.
Sheila tried to get a photo but mother duck covers them up with her body if you go near.

Sunset last night

The sun setting lit up this blossom in our garden thought I would share it.

Sunset

Last night the sun setting lit up the blossom on this tree in our garden,I thought I would share the experience.
