Time shifter, Still got the hat and the beard

,

40 years on

The hats got mouth holes in it and had the bobble cut off,

I've had bits cut out but not lost my marbles.  

Halloween, as we watch TV with one eye on the front-door.

Always enjoy Halloween, a good time to meet the Mum's, Dads and kids
of our community, and reward them for the smiles and banter of the last year.

And I get to eat the leftovers.

Stu's View.

Nature in all her glory at 5 o'clock this morning 

Looking on at progress

The wild life, Mr Robin and the Black Bird are giving the
garden a wide berth during maneuvers
and reconstruction, only the new comer
Mr Bumblebee is unfazed by the changes,
as he smoothly glides between the Forget Me Nots          

Don't Cross The Line.

Stu's View

The garden is now getting it 2013 makeover,
the washing line had to come down,
 enabling the large containers of trees and shrubs
to-be dragged about like scenery on a  film set.   

It will grow back just like my hair.

Chritstmas tree sculpture for 2012 

The train coming in on Platform one will still be a Virgin.

Untill ? 

A trip to the hospital stretches the mind but depresses the sole

Byford Family Tree

Can you trace your roots

The Intention was to burn the wood,
 this is how it was found cut into three,
in a front garden across town.
Such fine pruning skills of the amateur gardener
must be preserved.

This in not a joke its ART.
Many trees have their lives cut short
in the name of christmas.
not in our house.

The present dead tree has had a life of about six years,
this may replace our first long life dead tree,
or be joined in holy woodlock
Side by side,
As a forest. 

All good healthy food

In a Byford home.

Crap with out the Alcohol 

Could have been worse 

Purple Ronnie's four lines

                                            Byford' Glass is full of love.  
 
                                           A book given to me by the boys to accompany a pint glass
                                           inscribed with the words.    about the year  2003.
                                                                    

                                                                      Getting pissed

                                           However much booze you've been drinking,

                                           You just want a little bit more,

                                           Your head begins reeling,

                                           You stare at the ceiling,

                                           And then you throw up on the floor.

                                            NOT an accurate description of my drinking,

                                            well yes, the first four lines are about write.

 

 

How many years, How many more years of this ?

Something I created back in 2010
to express my feelings to the dismantling of my countries
Social Services and peoples future security
The ball of destruction is still swinging.

The picture was created in Photopshop using found objects from the streets
two black plastic car radiator grills, a picture frame and a sailing buoy,
also a length of rusty chain from the garden
The background is a view taken by me from Alexandra Palace 
looking east over London.
