My dad, a Royal Marine strapped the tent down and had us all hanging on to the frame ! In the morning ours was the only tent standing. I heard a little boy singing Raindrops keep falling and heard his dad yell, "I'll give you bloody raindrops !

I had to look at it for quite a while before I got the pony image - when I did I loved it. I loved it before but until I centred on the eye I couldn't make out what it was.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274851670267684075.post-20506725876916781562018-01-13T01:42:09.237+00:002018-01-13T01:42:09.237+00:00You just keep plugging away.

We had a nasty, overflowing river in my hometown. The area around the river was usually more windy. Over the years, I followed my Mom's advice: 'If possible, never live close to a body of water or forest (fire danger)' . I live, however, in a country which is constantly under threat of fire...of arms.<br /><br />Your shedstudio looks beautiful.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274851670267684075.post-59115552731016117852018-01-12T23:29:30.774+00:002018-01-12T23:29:30.774+00:00We've got great memories of camping, we didn&#...We've got great memories of camping, we didn't have much money and took single mattresses in the back of a van along with all the other bits and do you know what, it was great.
