the simple halfpipe, anna and some flowers

evening all,

we're off to blighty for a week and a half tomorrow and so i thought i'd write a little about our recent doings.....

the simple halfpipe is almost finished - just the platforms to be completed.

here's the 1st layer of ply as it was layed:





and as it looked with the final surface applied:



here's monkey boy enjoying the fruits of his labour:



and me rolling around:



this is about as close as nikki and anna got to skating the ramp:



next, as you might have guessed, anna has been visiting us for the last week and was very anxious to appear on the blog.

i am nothing if not accommodating and so here are a few shots of anna looking her best in the garden with a fork:





i don't want to be too mean so here's one of nikki looking foolish too!



nikki and anna made some really tasty pasties.

there were three fillings: curry, mushrooms/fried veggies and potato, leek and cheese.

here's how they looked:



finally, i took a few shots of some of the early spring flowers which are now everywhere.

here they are:







cherry blossom:



hawthorn:





ok, better go as we've got things to do/pack and we need to leave at 06:30 in the morning.

there'll be nothing new for a couple of weeks and so try and find something else to keep you busy.

cheers, gairy.
