The Origin of Christmas on the Homepage of www.jw.org

From the Evergreen Garden of Fiddle Wood 

Dear Reader,                                                                                                                                             

At this time of the year Nativity plays are often the highlight of the children's school year. Forgiving the odd space man,robot or dog being included,to ensure everyone has a happy part.But do these accurately document the birth of Jesus, and the events surrounding it, as was recorded in God's written word The Bible?

I think it can be agreed that many would much rather watch a video than perhaps read such a book?

That being the case Jehovah's Witnesses have produced a series of videos based on biblical events,as appetizes if you like? The homepage of www.jw.org our official website is currently carrying a couple of samples. They being '' The Origin of Christmas.'' and '' The True Light of the World.'' ( Please enter this in the search box if this is no longer the case because it has changed. ) It definitely is not aimed purely at children,but adults alike would benefit greatly from  such an understanding of the importance of Jesus birth,ministry and the role he now holds 2,000 plus years later.

Upon this Holiday Season,

I hope you'll enjoy your break from routine,

 As indeed most of us will. 

 Kind Regards,to one and all.

Stay safe,stay well and help others if you can. Paul Howes.

Being quite active on this project with all its aspects of production certainly made the time fly by without idol thoughts at all, what with a racing mind like mine other projects began to form and line up in my fancy as if already drawn out upon blueprint paper. So as i typed away upon such a white page most certainly i had begun to write most of the planed out extra work to come. Which skipped along with mapping out pen, followed closely thereafter by a super sharp shiny craft knife and soon all that needed doing was well done and dusted.

The clock above my head had by that time ticked its way to 24 minutes to four in the pm, and it saw me posing in front of my Mrs B's camera, as she busied herself trying hard to do what i had requested her kindly to do.

 i had just finished sticking the very last few parts upon a pile of twelve library book style arch-ways, and so it was easy to smile with  pleasure upon this occasion and that successful achievement. 

Now came the painting a something that kept me much more busy'er than usual, as i splish splashed my way through a few tubes of acrylic paint. But at least no flying bits of paper will find its way upon polished worktop, table, or stone floor 

Now even though i satisfied myself with such things as magical shelving units, of course there are most certainly flaws for not all is set square into place, but golly gosh! For me unsightly things do eventually become character to each old and charmed upstanding piece.

So upon this Friday that rings out 76 years especially for me, will well reflect how far along my roadway in life i have with great intent plodded.  The wonderful news now is these archways will hold a good 5,000 books that i will personally trundle into loose freestanding place.    .                                                                                                                                        

Upon a Masters wish, Alice of Old Victorian Times, finds herself upon a chess set but little realised it to be one of a legal case, " Of who stole those jam tarts?"  Which was within this picture of course The Nave of Clubs!Who stole away those rather tasty jam tarts.

And upon whiping the jam off his face and lips,''Off with his Head,'' The Queen of Hearts! Demanded,

Now upon a whim,i must make mention that the Tarts within this picture are set out before the King of Hearts and therefore not at all eaten up down to their crumbs. And indeed the oddest thing is the Spades are missing from the picture. So all the things seen worth counting here are all odd numbers too. And as i understand it in a strange topsy turvy way the author is still playing his game of oddity even now because the currect term of use within written English in this case... it being a too is made up of odd numbers too. They being t,o,o!

Arts & Crafts are a delight for anyone involved in them. 

And as far as i am concerned it need not cost the Earth

For it rules out the need of that high-street of inflated values.

Thank you kindly 4 your visit.

Stay safe, stay well.

Paul Howes...i believe they along with the canoe are all Cresent Toy Figures

 Plastic Toy figures plus birch bark canoe from the 1950's. i being the fellow of heart for such delightful things, i added the quiver of arrows upon both braves. Dress Makers pins, made ideal loose arrows and paper the quivers! As for the bow's, they became what they are now, from tiny strips of plastic strung by thin fuse wire! The canoe was covered over with a plastic bag and sunk into a neat deep bed of white resin glue that ran over a prepared base of real stone pebbles. So for uplifting water effect after the plastic bag was removed from the loose canoe, it could therefore be placed and removed from the river bed easily. Being quite old like myself i feel it almost the entire picture i had, had of it deep within my own imagination! 

Cheerfully i realise they along with it, it is the only one.

Thank U 4 your visit.

Stay safe guys

*THE SUGARBEAT SCARECROWS * written and presented by BB

Step one just for fun                                                                                                           

The Crows were always welcome to sit and take time out pecking!                                  

           Snow had fallen upon the cornfield near Fiddle Wood in Old Catton Norwich.

Rolled up Paper formed a stump of wood to each and every one of them so they could manage to stand upright, or indeed of their great age even leaning against the windy forced rain or any driven sleet or even thick snow that would head their totally unconcerned way. 
 

Stuffed well with yellow straw they took their stand upon the field. They were infact once tiny silver charms! And it was i who splodged thick paint upon them, and also realised painting comes in many forms but my yard brush only came in one size.

Thank U kindly 4 your visit. BB

My photographs on Benno's Figure Forum

 Sorry to mention that five years of my own arts and craft tutorial work is not available to view now on Benno's Figure Forum.  i fear it is now a something i can ill repair so lots of my followers on Benno's  will not be able to follow along while i do lots of my rather odd unorthodox artistic display. 

The main reason Imgur not fully protected peoples photographs which include data placed by children.  So that being the case The British Licence was not renewed with that company.  

This is such a universal blow which involves millions of photographs and movies.  However there is for myself a silver lining, it being the magical case i posted upon You Tube, a lot of my musical tutorial work. 

OK Guys,thanks for your visit at this time.

Stay safe.Stay well and help others if you can. BB

Was This Old Man Really Billy The Kid ? Presented by BB

 

                                                                          Bushy Bill

1886 or thereabouts! Bill is wearing a Topper,while playing cards with other members of the Regulators. These were a gang of outlaws that took their own self styled unwritten law and justice into their own hands durring the Lincoin County CattlemansWar of 1878.

This outlaw William Bonney, was doved Billy The Kid,and was shot dead by Sheriff Pat Garrett. But did he really survive such a shooting,and therefore cheat death for a short while longer than the mere history of the Wild West Legend dictates?

Billy the Kid pictures often displayed together to report that these pictures are one in the same person and that Billy actually suvived to live out himself to old age. Whatever the case might be really i would take a guess that we will never really know the whole truth pertaining to this Robin hood movie legend time has built up around him. Now i remember in such movies that Billy was left handed,but the picture comparison shown above i guess is a right handed fellow upon the left,and so i am thinking did those that printed out the left handed ones have the plates reversed or as some might say in my neck of the woods," Back to Front?" Because the first picture upon display is that of a right handed guy in  very old age, alongside a much younger Billy, being shown as a very well armed left handed gunman.                                           

 

And so it was that i alone decided to reverse that first picture showing the old man wearing a gun upon his left sided hip. But looking at the metal buckle i see the gun belt oddly threaded the wrong way round than i being right handed would wear it. So i will therefore put it forwards to you the reader to decide upon the matter of such a possible mistake! For in reality we are upon an aged eyed dusty roadway leading to some-where . But being BB,i certainly find such a mystery to my liking!                                                                                                                                               

For a more thoughtful measure upon the wind of change " Bushy Bill" Roberts of Texes - claimed prior to his death in 1950 that he was indeed Billy the Kid. Such a story presuposed that Garrett killed the wrong man and lied about it. Now books have been written of these old men of the wild west and in my case i do not take bitter sides of upset arguments because such things cannot be proved and i realise even in the courts of law it simple cannot be proved one way or another,but this has been realised ...these old guys of fame are most certainly all dead.                                                                                                         

Thank's for taking time out to visit here,
