Look!



Following Dad's birthday, here's a picture of Dad, Mum, Tony and me outside Wallington Hall on a glorious October afternoon, and a picture of his favourite thing inside the stately home - a limewood carving by Thomas Kendall of Warwick, dated about 1870 ish. If you see the thing close to, you can even see the whiskers on the water rat.

Love the pictures!

The carving is remarkable.

Spending such a beautiful day with your parents is priceless. Thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you. I never thought I'd be showing off my parents to the world!

The carving astonishes me every time I see it. The background is moss and ivy on a stone wall and it's utterly convincing.
