The freedom & joy of simply doing something fun & mysterious on a whim in childhood is all too soon adult'ed out of us.

They had me moving a very heavy statute of Joseph recently in church. It was nerve wracking. It was old and perfect, but I was also aware that it was only made out of Plaster of Paris or similar...one knock and it may be 1,000 pieces. I still wake in the night sweating and wondering if my fixing of the wooden stand to the wall will stand the test of someone pulling it !!Nigel Aspdin (Derby, UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11287696605570389587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-73164419098353802122013-06-30T06:35:46.773+10:002013-06-30T06:35:46.773+10:00Love this picture Jill!!!!!Love this picture Jill!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253477173808426796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-84610417004705092412013-06-30T06:06:11.907+10:002013-06-30T06:06:11.907+10:00Amazing they didn't think to stop you bad litt...Amazing they didn't think to stop you bad little kids from climbing over the statue before it fell and broke!
