Liz in LLama Land

Liz and Rob are now in South America. Enjoying a trip to the Galapogos Islands, treking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and checking out Lake Titicaca. Its a tough life for some. They are returning via the UK and Ireland to catch up with family and friends.

Also in the UK this week is our soon-to-be exchange student from Bergen, Norway; Katrine, celebrating her 17th birthday in London. Happy Birthday Katrine.

Well Hung

Well after 6 months in the new house we have put a bit of "art" on the walls.

First we have a striking image of a 3D wall sculpture. The original is made from MDF and acrylic paint by the husband of one of Dave's work collegues. You can check out more of his magnificent work here I'm not sure if he would be flattered that we decided to hang it, annoyed that we downloaded the image from his site, or annoyed that we did not ask for a high resolution version; probably a bit of each. It does not hold a candle to the original but still has a striking 3d effect.



Next we have a copy of a portrait of Peter painted by a girlfriend. I'm in trouble for hanging this one too from the girls as she and Pete are no longer together. It certainly looks like Pete though in one of his waking moments.



Adding a small dash of colour to the black and white is a Banksy stencil (downloaded legally from banksy.co.uk ).

All hung as fairly large canvas-art. (upload the image, quote plastic, and it arrives printed on canvas already stretched on frames to be hung)
