Nessie in pastels was requested by the Queen of my Star of Africa Bee May! She is wearing a Tam o' Shanter hat as immortalised by our national poet Robbie Burns in his scary Hallowe'en poem of that name....You can read it here in Scots (an English dialect) or in so-called translation!
We are making blocks representing our country and as there are two others from the UK I have opted to represent my homeland of Scotland ! So far I have sent Hamish to Patti in Canada
And now Nessie goes to May who is a Swedish Finn living in Germany ! Hope I got that right...? We have members scattered across the globe and are learning lots on the way! It is a bit like virtual travelling and fortunately for me we communicate in English - phew!
Och well Nessie could swim across the North Sea to get there! Di x
ReplyDeleteLove your nessie and your highland cattle is just gorgeous too. You are too clever you serial poster you!
ReplyDeleteshe's so cute with her little hat!
ReplyDeleteI love Nessie!!! Hope he doesn't get caught on camera going through customs and create an international incident. I can see the headline now 'Nessie deserts homeland!' The possibilities for puns are endless and the red-tops would have a whale of a time ;o)
ReplyDeleteHee hee, love it!
ReplyDeleteNessie never looked so good!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, love it! I missed that can-you-guess post, as I only get iccassional wifi, and am in a dufferet time zone at the moment. Today we are helping dad and step mum clear the decks for a visit from Isaac - hopefully it will be exciting not scary!
