'Wellies and Whitebait'


not wellies and whitebait.... but gumboots and worms!

What's not to love about fishing?

Summer's on the bay, winter in the mud!

This painting is one of two that were inspired by this old photo....

I wrote about it back in December here...

Not called 'wellies' in our house....we had 'Gumboots'....lots of them....

all lined up at the door .....poked inside each other so the spiders

couldn't get in!

and there always seemed to be 3 pairs too many!

how many orphaned gumboots at your house?

'Sunscreen and Saltwater'

It's that archetypal family photo.

the one you grab before you get in the car to go home.

where you round up all the kids, herd them into a group

 for the last holiday snap.

there's always one kid who won't look at the camera,

and someone who's 'off with the fairies.'

and they are getting a tad grumpy  because they don't want to leave.

nor do they don't want to stand still for a photo!








every family has photos like this!

                                ...well I sure do!
