Halloween Again!

Strange, eerie fog again.  One almost expects Sherlock Holmes to come round the corner.  And the clip-clop of hooves drawing their carriages for two and six!

Local Pea Soup!

Another atmospheric day with dense fog. It feels like the edge of the world is just up the road, and then it's a freefall into space!

Pea Soup in Regent's Park!

After several days of high winds and it raining cats and dogs, it was a welcome relief to find it bitterly cold and foggy!

A leisurely stroll through Regent's Park saw hardened dog owners and runners trying to get fit before the onslaught of Christmas mince pies and chocolates.





Tis the season for Salt Dough!

2 cups cheapest all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 cup cold water

Mix salt and flour together in a bowl.  Gradually add 1/2 cup of water and mix to a dough.  Knead the dough on a flat surface, add water as needed.

If you want holes, pierce the dough with a matchstick after cutting shapes.

Shapes will dry in a couple of days.  Paint with acrylic paints and varnish all sides.
