About Me

My photo
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.

T is for Totally Forgot!

I'd totally forgotten Scully & Scully, but unbeknownst to me Mr. Berke was waiting for an over cast day to photograph them with minimal reflection off the windows, and as I have an old School friend who's spending Christmas in New York and has been posting near-endless picture of a city cloaked in clear blue skies for the last fortnight, I can attest to how bright it's been! She's now moved on to Quakertown in Pennsylvania, and I can equally attest that the sky in that part of the world went grey!
 
So Brian got out and shot the bestest shots, of this season's Window Display, of professionally-painted whitemetal flats, and there's a definite theme this year with most of the sculpts depicting the same white-whiskered gentlemen in a red suit, lined with fur.
 


Best Santa Ever!



Beautiful study of a medieval horse?

The Easter animals haven't been forgotten!




As exquisite and charming as always, many, many thanks to Brian for taking the time and spending the effort to get these to us in time! And wishing all Loyal Readers a very Happy Christmas, and let's hope 2024 is an improvement on the preceding few for everyone!
