Lisa Art

Lisa had a practice art exam on her very last day at school.  She did some lino prints.  This one is muscles on paper...
This time Lisa used an old crisp packet. It is an environmental statement about food packaging...
 Apples...
And on an old apple bag..
Lisa said that despite being on her very last day she enjoyed her practice art exam.  Great work Lisa.

This could be Joe's last day at Emsworth Primary School.  Last ever Friday football session...
There were only four in Joe's age group, but said he loved it, as he always does :-)

Thursday MTB Ride

Simon, myself and Paul did usual Thursday night mountain bike ride.  Due to the Coronavirus we are social distancing.  2m apart at all times.  We took a beer up to the top of Kingley Vale...cheers...
It was supposed to be Simon's big 50th Birthday Party on Saturday.  The lads have clubbed together to buy him a pressie, so as the party is not happening we gave him the pressie on top of Kingley Vale.  Happy Birthday Si...
Cheers...
This is my attempt at a selfie...I think I need some practice :-)
