Cumbrian Easter





' Sometimes in snows in April' said good old Prince many Aprils ago. Well, it did this year up Cumbria way. Still, Spring comes; the little lambs (cute) and the cowslips.

don't look back!!!

The Liver Birds




Oh joy! went to see the present Champions of Europe play a league game against Bolton over Easter. Well, the footy game wasn't great (1-0 to the 'pool), but the Liver birds!....
And check it out, how many are nosshing up big time on burgers/pies/chips pre-match, and t'was the same after the game too.

Sauf'en'-on -Sea

musings on museum





well, was down london way over easter break and as i love museums.... (was in the natural history AND science AND Victoria & Albert!!!)
of interest for me:a rock (crystal really) that 'glows' under UV light; some fine symmetry from mughal times out of india; RJ Mitchell (designer of the Spitfire) - of interest is the sculpture, it's made from water-worn slate pebbles; a very funny pic of mamma polar bear not waiting for her offspring as she's hungry and food? it's 40 miles away to broken pack ice.
and i found some who are struck by museums even more than me, kids.
