He’s the height of my thumb
and small as can be
dwarfed by my mug of cocoa or tea
but he’s happy as can be
among the toys and bricks
putting together those coloured ones that stick
and exploration is fun, so he’ll spend his time
climbing that mug, mentioned in this rhyme

Been apart for a while , but
Really you never forget family
Out on the green fields
Two siblings meet, for the first time in a while
Happy to see each other, with
Eager calls and sniffs
Ready to run after one another for
Simply enjoying the moment
Sitting in the garden
Playing with a ball
As Mum or dad
Call out – from beyond the hall
Excitement awaits – we’re off to the museums!
Down goes your head – you don’t want to see ’em
Of course, its not like you’re grateful – you’ve been there before
Up with your classmates – till gone half past four
The holidays are for fun – out in the fresh air!
! You’ll be going somewhere sunny soon – but you don’t care! !

She walked around the room
picking up her things
the night had been great
but it was time for serious work
breakfast could wait
as she straightened her skirt
and watched as you woke
and all you could ask
as you shared a smile
“Is that my shirt?”

Have a go, step right up – try your hand at getting the Hoop
On the target
Of course , land it on the right target – you’ll get a
Prize, It’s all down to where your hoop
Lands – and that’s down to your
Aim and Throw
Another piece from Inky, in response to richa’s Freedom of Expression Challenge
Crack open the party poppers, for its an
Extra special day today
Lots of people are coming to share in
Excitement, in honour of somebody who’s having a really significant
Birthday….

and dance till you drop….
tell the celebrant how loved they are
on their very special day – and
never forget to enjoy yourselves too!
Salford Quays, 22nd November 2018
Christmas is coming……
We might be in November, but we’ve had a bit of festive decoration arrive on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal today
A number of brightly decorated snowmen, have found themselves stood around and about in locations at Salford Quays. From The Lowry to Mediacity UK, They’re all based around Raymond Briggs’ original fun character and have been decorated by local children and young people in the area.
Its Been a buzzy few months for local artworks as previously we had Bee in the City land in Salford as part of the Hive in Manchester. When they flew to pastures new, the Snowmen paid us a visit. While the Bees raised money for the We Love Manchester Fund, This time all funds will go to BBC Children in need
Feel free to comment on the snowmen I’ve captured….I’ll post more as and when i find them.
An acrostic on the Carousel, by Inky.
Crazy, the way this
amusement ride of colour turns
round and around to the sound
of the pipes in its middle
under the musics charms the
stallions and fillies move up and down
expect laughter and cheers from the
little ones, who’ve been waiting all summer to ride it
Blackpool, 11th April 2017
Tuesday saw me take a little trip up the motorway to Blackpool with my sister Anne Marie and my two nephews James and George
It wasn’t really seaside weather so, we visited the Tower circus and the Sea life centre instead….
The sea life centre was our first place we visited – and we all enjoyed the sharks, and the dolphins and Rays (as well as the fish)
There were lots of acrobats, and juggling and trapeze acts at this show, and plenty of clowning around…and lots of laughter.
We finished off the day with a picnic lunch by the tower.
Its a little thing…
Expectation
it starts with the little things
growing up as a kid,
you really want to ride the big dipper,
but end up on the small caterpillar ride instead
And you want the best of the ice-creams
you saved some space after lunch
but the outcome’s much smaller than the picture
those biscuits look like they’re munched
But the fellow behind this is not fickle
and he’s not as mean as he seems
though harsh it may seem at the start
he wants to fulfil your dreams
So that space in that tum is not full yet
there’s a place that is not out of reach
selling bonbons and fudge and candyfloss
that you enjoy walking down street towards the beach
