MY NEW BABY

  This is a tiny art gallery that hangs from my back-gate. It is 18″ high, 15″ wide and 12″ deep. The gate opens directly onto a public footpath. At night it is lit by tiny lights that have been charged up during the day by a solar panel. Effectively it is open 24 hours […]

BREXIT NEVER HAPPENED

I have been tasked to go back in time and to make sure that Donald Cameron and Mary Mount never meet with the obvious consequences that David Cameron couldn’t be born thus avoiding the present debacle.   Of course one never knows exactly what might happen when having a fiddle with history and if we wake up […]
