Scenes from childhood.

Hi Selby,

I see what you mean. We did a much simpler and boring version which involved the whole wheel as well.

Australia would have course have been more likely to do this, because you have Black Swans.

This forum is such an educational place, as well as artistic.

hehe cool AgedP ...although i must say all the ones i met were for reasons best known to their owners painted white bizzare i know cant see why you would when we have black swans too here but thre you are one of those oddities of life i suspect...maybe people felt they had put in more artistic effort if they painted them white

I remember a scene like this when I ran out of the air raid shelter (Anderson Shelter they were called) and I remember my Aunt Violet screaming at me to come back or a Doodlebug would GET ME.

It was many years later that I learned what,in fact, a Doodlebug was...........not as I'd thought, a monster but a V1 flying bomb!

Best to you

Our childhood memories have some common threads.

Peter,
I read, years ago, that these experiences would come back strongly to us in later life. I might do a few similar ones , when I get my cataracts fixed. :roll:

Rkngel
My childhood experiences were actually with a bright yellow box kite , Kept in a hhaki tube container.as it had been when part of the survival equipment for a crashed aircraft. It was intended to lift an antenna.

Hi Aged P,

what threw me completely was the lasr beam on the clouds last night.........sorry to hear you have cataracts.............but after the op it was amazing (I had them too as well as glaucoma) my sight was soooooooooo sharp...............the problem is we don't notice the deterioration because it's so gradual. Hope you get yours done soon.


Best to you


Peter

This is a memory I cherish........used to do this with my Grandad on chilly nights.....................Yeah!

Hi Peter,

A lovely surface on the toast!
My grand parents lived next door, so I did the same thing.

White bread.
High cholesterol spread.
No safety gauntlets, goggles or risk assessment surveys.
Stabbing madly when the slice fell off.
No fire guard.
Lungs full of acrid gases when the wind blew "the wrong way".
Hearth rug with little charred holes in it.
Double page of newspaper to make the fire "draw".

With all that danger we'll never make it to 60!
