bucket tree
where do seaside buckets and spades come from ? they grow on trees of course. usually such trees are kept hidden away in factories, but this one was clearly visible from the main street leading to Lulworth Cove.

ferruls
have you checked your ferruls recently ? they may need replacing. especially if they have perished.
dog sign
it’s good to see pictures of dogs some of which aren’t already in my collection. here are a selection of dog signs seen whilst on holiday.
luckily this dog is heavy enough to keep this floating man from blowing away:
small dog on silver plaque on brick wall:
dog eager to leave the scene:
life ring supplied in case of real emergencies:
kez on TV
a strange trick of the light resulted in kezia appearing in TV as a reflection from the seat where she was sitting reading a book which she was very much enjoying. [what kind of a sentence was that ?]

holiday food
it’s important to eat well on holiday so you have enough energy to have lots of fun. i was delighted to be see the fridge contained nothing but beer and chocolate once we had unpacked.
my only concern was what everyone else would eat and drink. but i needn’t have worried as we went to Tescos for a greasy breakfast.
i love holidays !
naked lights
jane took this photo out the car window. it’s the gubbins in traffic lights (before they stuck the head on them)
parable of the lost coin
last sunday esther lost £1. we spent ages looking for it. eventually we found it. it was in the turnup on her skirt at the back. very much like looking for spectacles which are balanced on your head all along. sort of.
back from holiday
we’ve been on holiday for the last week so there’s been no real time updates since last saturday to the blog. best i’ve had is minimal text access to email.
anyway, i’ve got tonnes of pictures (i took about 500 photos and have saved about 350). so expect a few days worth of mega-blogging before it’s back to business as usual.
here is where we stayed near Thomas Hardy’s birthplace near Dorchester. The place was built by his dad and was very good !
benjamin’s electronic eye
here is a small chap called benjamin. he has an electronic eye. or so he told us.
hat
there was a glove nearby, but i didn’t see it (it was reported to me later). but i did see this hat on a bench.
unhelpful post box
more tape fun.
more danger
most of london is now covered in danger tape. including this electricity cabinet with no front door.
red tape
there’s definately too much red tape these days. and yellow.
lego Bible
this site has been going a while but i love going back to it to the latest Bible stories which have been built in lego.
last ram
a ram in the street.
glove
a nicely presented glove
