Some more serious historic illustration

Had a very productive day doing drawings and things related to Mitchell's Fold. Eyes were getting blurry
from the computer. Shoulders hurt. The roof was leaking again. I get a year older in the space of a week, next week.

So, to save myself from being totally suicidal, I produced this piece wot you can see to the left. I had to make the plum very large and quite roundish, otherwise, perched on the end of his thumb, it looked decidedly phallic. What worries me about today's kids is that they'd probably notice.

Anyway, you might have noticed that the little rhyme hasn't quite finished. You'll have to wait until the next instalment before you find out what happened. And it's not what usually happens.

Leaving you pondering this mystery ...

47 on Wednesday me dear!!!! It's an old photo (mid 30's), but there is a recent one on the photos of ourselves thread at RI. Chrispy (bless him - could forgive him anything for this!) was convinced I was mid 30's from the recent one.

On bad days I feel more like 66 ...

Hello Cas, thanks for the comment on our blog.

Hi Cathy
Your so youthfull you could bring out your own range of skincare products;¬) Perhaps you could call it 'Simply Simpson.' Obviously we could work on a better title.

I just googled on Jack Horner and got this interesting link:

Lovely picture. I hate leaking roofs. Ours leaks just above the television when the wind is blowing in a certain direction. Captain Rupert also has a leaking roof, but his getting a new hutch at the weekend - lucky him.
