Keira's Canvas

                                                                  Once upon a time...

A certain person was briefly visiting our small garden shed - for reasons that will remain a mystery - when I tripped over my own feet, and not for the first time ever! : "amaideach!" /amadʲəx/  'foolish, ridiculous, silly'  ~  (as my mother tongue would put it) ~ Well, apart from flitting back and fore between languages, the story will continue...

My first attempt at drawing the above image was purely for posting the drawing 'online', so that our granddaughter, Keira, could have a laugh at her  GP.  'GP' was first coined when Dylan, her big brother, was a young boy and our first grandchild... he used to call me 'Grampa'. Like all children, they're delightful, of course! However, some of us cannot resist 'winding them up' - I'm guilty as charged! so, I told Dylan: when we're talking in front of pretty young girls, just call me 'GP'... thereafter, it became my nickname for all our grandchildren! There's certainly a moral to be recognised here 😉

This wee piece of writing is partly due to having realised that my 'Blogger' set-up is now working better than it had been... the details aren't important, but I'd lost heart with it when it started operating less effectively than it should have been - that has changed recently! 🌝 so, I'll hopefully be an active Blogger in future...
