Cedric & Max: Return to the Page.

I have not see much of Cedric nor Max recently, singularly uninspired in my sketching. But today, pleased as punch, they walked quite randomly back into a letter I was writing and sat down  at top and bottom corners of the page.

I say, 'sat', but indeed Cedric was swimming in the warm waters around his island.
Max was heartily singing Camp Fire Songs, standing maybe a bit too close to the fire for safety. I must speak to him about that.


The letter is almost finished now, but will be posted after Final Collection tomorrow to plop onto S's doormat on Saturday. I always aim for a Saturday delivery, so much nicer to receive a Hand Written Letter on a Saturday as the weekend is just kicking in.

I have traditionally drawn a coconut tree with the segmented trunk and large leaves.
My recent trip to Poro Island in The Camotes, Philippines showed me how wrong I was.
No segmentation and the leaves were made of fronds. Trees with large leaves as I previously drew turned out to be Banana Trees.

LightHice


The plural of Mouse is Mice;
I therefore submit the plural of LightHouse is LightHice...

We drove up to Blackpool to share in wedding celebrations, the theme throughout the entire day was the Lighthouse, at which Carl had proposed to Emma. Maybe he had already mapped out the thematic idea in chosing a romantic location, in which case I will not be surprised in 20 years time to hear they are living in their very own Lighthouse.
Subsequent to my drawing the LightHice above I have been told they are either red & white OR blue & white - but never Red & Blue. Seems my own LH are somewhat unique.
