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 Cardology

Cardology are a firm I encountered for the first time at the Birmingham Spring Fair, and they couldn't have arrived soon enough, with the recent demise of Clinton's, where I've been buying nice fold-up cards for a few years now (we saw the Morris Traveller with cats one year, but I've given more away, as Christmas cards), the shots I fired off aren't the best, but the link at the end has all of them.



They are a tenner each, which looks a bit steep, but you are buying a crafted keepsake, which, with care, can be got out and displayed again, year after year, and, dare I suggest - become a collection of novelties!
