Japanese wood carving.


I found this photograph which was taken when I was stationed in Hiroshima with BCOF in 1946 , it was shared between my mate Reg and I where we kept all our odds and ends, I had the left hand side but you can see we 18 year olds liked Rita Hayworth the front lower left was a pen friend from New Zealand ,long forgotten , the top left was a piece of sawn silver birch with a Japanese scene painted on it I paid one yen for it now scroll down and see the same piece of wood.

It now takes pride of place in my "bathroom",after 63 years it has kept its colour

Splendid Wren


A pair of wrens had been coming into the garden each day , however we have missed them for a few weeks now we know why they returned today with three babies which they were feeding, they are a little ellusive in trying to photograph them all but I did manage to get the cock bird.
