Light relief


Miss T threw this gauntlet down the other day...

Last night as we were meandering home from the curry house, there was a huge barking and jingling of Morris bells outside the QH.“Hunting Morris men with dogs, isn’t that banned under the hunting with dogs act?” I wondered aloud. This made us ponder what a ‘Morris hound’ would look like. So my artistic chums – please submit a sketch of a Morris hound (with rationale as to features) by Friday pm. I shall give prizes, not sure what yet, but they’ll be good J.


This is my entry. I'll be seeing Miss T at the QH shortly where I would imagine she will be announcing the prize winners. ;-)

Floods

Our village has been under severe flood warning alert for a week now.
I was a bit worried about the studio as its lower than the house and reached from the garden. Which is across a road and field from this:

This is Eynsham CC Cricket Pavillion. To give you some idea of the depth of the water - the pavillion is raised 4 feet off the ground on stilts (which are submerged).

Thankfully the water didn't rise much further and sandbags weren't needed outsde the studio door after all. A flooded studio isn't the end of the world in the grand scheme of things and I really feel for those who are suffering hardship and loss, and on a lighter note in Lucy's case - a lack of tea.
