roal dahl

i love roahl dahl and this article in the Observer at the weekend (mostly) made me love him even more.  when i got to the end paragraph it really struck a chord.

although it pales in to insignificance compared to dahl, i like to hope i occasionally manage to transform the ordinary into something unexpectedly enchanting.  and i know i spend a lot of time looking down (at dummies etc) when all the other adults are looking up.  that’s not always a good thing though

hoorah for roal dahl’s approach to life i say and his random ‘treats’ and acts of kindness

the security guard in the background asked me what i was doing.  so i told him.  this was possibly my most dangerous dummy photo so far as i nearly got squashed by a number of shoppers who were driving their trolleys at speed towards the just opened portcullis
