My mum just gave me a big box from the loft, full with my school books and artwork. I thought it might be fun to post some of it here.
Lets start with this piece, which i recon might have been done when i was about 9.
I say 9, as that was when the new Action Force toys came out, including Snake Eyes who may have had a slight influence on the black knight in the picture. By slight, I mean I basically drew him as best I could and then added a few extra lines to suggest armour. I have been relatively restrained, in only painting a little bit of blood.
I was dragged along to Chessington as Jo's brother and his kids came to visit. As such I happened to be at the Beanoland closure by accident, amd witnessed a record breaking custard pie fight.
To mark the closure of Beanoland after 10 fabulous years Chessington celebrated by holding the world's biggest Custard Pie fight. More than 1,000 custard pies were thrown in under two minutes by 300 people at Chessington World of Adventures on 21st September , smashing the current record of 271 participants for the largest custard pie fight.
The pies, filled with 216kg of real custard and 50kg of whipped cream, were sold for £1 each, and raised more than £300 for Merlin's Magic Wand charity.
It had a real "last day of term" feel to it, i guess because it was probably the last day for all the staff working there. They all ended up covered in pies, probably moreso than the kids, and the characters - Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Gnasher and Softie Walter all jumped in the fountain afterwards.
If you're wondering why I've not updated the blog in a while -
This would be the reason why.
Also, sadly the Geocities website will shortly be leaving us, so I have captured most of the material from my old site here: http://seddonism.jimdo.com/
Baby James Seddon arrived at 3.54am on Tuesday at Brighton Hospital, weighing in at a whopping 9pounds 2 oz, 10 days overdue and with a full head of hair.
We arrived at the hospital about 1.30am so were only there for a couple of hours when baby James emerged, with Jo just using the tens machine and gas & air.
Baby and mum are doing well. Jo's mum is here and is helping lots.
