About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

C is for Canoes - 13 - Heyde

Not mine and only shot yesterday at the Sandown Park toy fair, but squeezed into the queue for a quickie, and what a charmer; the Heyde (pronounced hide'ah) solid lead novelty Kittens in a Canoe! And why not!

Punting on the Cam, or sculling on the Havel, an attempt at modelling a Norwegian tiller (rope operated) shows the level of detail Heyde would go to with their superior work! Thanks to Adrian at Mercator Trading for letting me shoot this. Back on track tomorrow!
