Still adding back pictures, got back to page 494 which is Dec.....boring!!!

My fault as I shouldn't post so many pictures....!

 

Trouble is a lot of the iPhone pictures I don't keep so there are gaps and of course if other people post then I don't have those either.

"Cattle excursion."  I have an image now: when the train arrives at the dock the cattle will disembark wearing sun hats and sunglasses and carrying beach umbrellas and picnic hampers.  🥳

 

And they will be josling and pushing saying 'Moooove over get udder my way..'

This reminds me of a Far Side cartoon.  Pet dog sitting in car, looking smug as he talks to one of his dog pals sitting on the pavement.

 

"That's nothing!  My owner's taking me to the vet to get tutored."

The only one I recall is two cows sitting on a sofa with the phone ringing. One says "there it goes again and here are we without opposable thumbs."

 

Or something like that.

Free Association on a Saturday morning...

 

"We  are poor little lambs who have gone astray...baa...baa...baa"

Now this next one reminded me of those cigarette cards you could get

 

Exactly right. I had boxes of the things. Wish I'd kept some of them. Ciggy cards, Brooke Bond Tea cards, Bubblegum cards, they were everywhere!

Umm, Yale rather than Harvard, I read. And vibraphonist Cal Tjader had an album called Soul Bird Whiffenpoof.

 

Handel, of course, included "All we like sheep have gone astray" in his Messiah oratorio. Sherry and I sang it in a skool production at the Dorking Halls about 60 years ago....

I like Bing Crosby's version best.

I recently sold a few - some of them can fetch 'How Much?😇  Some of the Brooke Bond cards (mainly the overseas issues) can rake in pretty good money as well.  And while I don't know much about them the right bubblegum cards in the right condition can go for big bucks.   But stuff in poor condition won't fetch anything - and that's the bulk of the stuff.  

 

And the right postcards can also make good money (or in my case  'cost far too much').   And some folk think that r-t-r trains are expensive.

Amazing pics!  The chap in his garden looks so real and I can believe he is reading about the 1935 heatwave and is feeling guilty about watering his garden. I look forward to seeing lots more of Little Muddle in this new light !
