The Gallery

Who killed the Cheerleader?

I failed the Gallery challenge to find my favourite photo last week.. Even after I’d gone to the trouble of trying to bribe the eternally wonderful Spudballoo I just couldn’t find the right image. In the end I crawled away

It all tastes like chicken…

As a child you’re generally unaware of your situation compared to anyone else’s.  This changes as you grow and you start to compare, to desire the things you don’t have, and to see yourself as others do.  I’d like to

You say lemon, I say melon….

There seems to be an age cut off point, beneath which the word ‘melon’ is impossible to pronounce.  In our house we have lemons for melons, something that always makes me laugh.  Funnier still was the fact that I was

A bloggy good celebration…

This week on the Gallery Tara has chosen the theme ‘Celebration’.  So easy and yet so, not. There are so many celebratory pictures that I could have chosen but I wanted to try something a little bit different.

The Road Less Travelled

The original hoodies…
