         Joe and Betty having a little hug after school on Friday. Joe said they’d already been there ages before I found them and she didn’t move a muscle when I went off to find the camera. Betty really loves her boys.

               Ages and ages ago I made this little doll. I did take some photos of her then but they were dreadful (too grey and dark here). But today the sun is out so I tried again and here she is. Though, as you can see everything is still […]
