FRED IS HOMEWARD BOUND ******** presented by BEANO BOY

************ WHOOOOOOOOOOSH ! ************

One should never judge upon the first appearance

                              He was created a DALEK, but after injury re-born a FRED

                                  Capable of feelings he began to live and learn by them

                                            Each day a brand new fun filled adventure

                                                           Like for instance now

                                         The fresh snow had fallen silent over night

                      Which gave Fred,a chance to try out his brand new skis

                                        A wonderful sliding experience indeed

                                             The Crest of a hill seemed so inviting to the little fellow
                                                                  'Lets try a jump' he thought

                                                                      The Take Off
                                                                         Yippy !!!!!
                                                                    He was Airborn

                                                                  But not really for long

                                                       There was almost a silent thud !

                                                  it was certainly a very soft landing

                                                        After a short struggle

                                                    He was soon Homeward Bound

                                                                   to Fiddle Wood

It was a bright day for rendering repairs to this my Blog

So here is some of it

Grange... being a Barn...Etable meaning for Cows... Remise a shed... Ferme a Farm House... Chateau a strong hold or Castle … Chapelle... a Chaple… Portail Nord... North Gate

















porte Ouest... West Gate... portail Sud... South Gate... Gardeners House.

Back in the day all i had to work from were pictures contained in books for reference.

 No internet was available then.

Using Picture Framers paper card : The scratch building began in the year of 2000 , and it was 2018 when finally my version of the buildings plus all the walls were complete.

The Scratch Built Well with Dove Cote above.

                                                                         The Chapel 









                                                     Manning the walls











                           The roof top lifts off so that the inside can be fully occupied.










                           The roofing tiles were made from strips of corrugated cardboard 

                                The French Infantry attack through BONIERS WOOD.











My crude based wire trees had served me well over the years and now in the close of 2019 I am in the twisting process of gradually replacing them with much better ones.

Just a half section of the formal garden wall of double sided brick and stone plus firing holes.

             As Covid19 Swept the UK in its awful killing embrace, here above saw me

             taking a rest in the garden. It sure was a rather quiet hot day.
