Sir Peelalot demonstrates a nobleman's favorite way with oranges and (next) lemons

Joseph Hyacinthe François de Paule de Rigaud, comte de Vaudreuil was a Saint Dominican French nobleman at the court of King Louis XVI. He was the alleged lover of Gabrielle de Polastron, duchesse de Polignac, the favourite of Marie Antoinette and over whom he exerted a powerful influence. (Painting by Germain Drouais, 1758.)

Theme: Oranges & Lemons

Hope this citrus theme a-peels.

Could be the fruits, the colours, a president's boat race

or anything inspired by the traditional English folksong/rhyme.

"Chicken Juggling" the Sport of Angels


I know I still have one day to create but please forgive me for posting a collage from the archives. I have had another round of major disruption in our house renovations and it has been difficult for me to make time to think about making a new collage. So I present a collage I made 13 years ago and I hope you enjoy it again! I particularly love this collage as the angel is carefully cut from a piece of antique sheet music I found at a charity shop.

Pass the kitchen implement race.

 Never been a big fan of sport…I only watch snooker.

I might watch this race though….😅.

June's Pupaphobia Brought on Reoccurring Nightmares Specifically Involving Punch


Psychologists often link pupaphobia to the "uncanny valley" effect. This is the unsettling feeling people experience when confronted with objects that look almost, but not exactly, like real humans. Because puppets are inanimate objects that mimic living creatures and are controlled by someone else, they can evoke feelings of unpredictability and fear.

When Kate was in the Congo filming The African Queen...


 ...biscuits she had brought along were useful to keep the playful denizens of the jungle at bay.
