Worbarrow Bay

Worbarrow Bay

A beautiful walk from the ghost village of Tyneham, across M.O.D land - accessible most weekends after public pressure applied in the 70s - up to Flowers Barrow, then down into Worbarrow Bay.

Dorset promotion, 60s style

Dorset promo, 60s style

Every Day in May takes a photographic form over the weekend, as we are away walking on the Isle of Purbeck (in Dorset, and not technically and island). This detail is from a poster in the Corfe Castle railway station (a stop on the restored Swanage Railway) were we waited to board a steam train...

Lobster / Snobber

Lobster / Snobber

If the words Vomit, Flu, Deadline, and Lethargy had been some of those omitted from the Junior OUP Dictionary, I'd have done quite well these past four days of Every Day in May... I don't seem to remember them on the list though, so I get back in the saddle with Lobster instead.

I used to have a rubber lobster bath toy that I think I ate the antenna, or at least some of the legs of.

I couldn't say lobster then ( I was v small) so he became a snobber instead. So here are some dancing Snobbers. (Lino-print / acrylic / some scribble & Photoshop)

Willow

willow

Or is it a bit sea-weedy? Anyhow, this is two words in one; Willow and Parish. I discovered I belong in the parish of Angell Town, and that not only was stripped willow used to beat the bounds, but sometimes the heads of small boys too! And, yeah - I made it repeat pattern again...(couldn't help myself!)

Marzipan

Marzipan

Marzipan smells and tastes delicious (if you are so inclined) but is pretty underwhelming to draw until someone has made it into marzipan fruit or icing.

However it did make me think of soft, cake-y colours and the latticework of pie crusts so here is a marzipan pattern instead... I quite like how the pattern looks a little stained glassish too.

For some beautiful examples of *real* stained glass, head over to Flora's blog...

If you love the smell, try out Smitten from Lush; smells of Playdoh / almonds... yum!
