TUTT(+1) - Vintage - Week ?????

Hello Blog....My name is Linda-Maree and I am your creator/writer, I feel that I had to re-introduce myself because you may have forgotten who I am, since I have not been around for so long....Anyway, now that the formalities are out of the way....Let's blog....

Our theme for the last week of October (I think, and I think it was Week 53, )....was Vintage suggested by Claire...She took a truely lovely photograph of her beautiful daughter Skyla....

Mariette took a photo of a 2005 "vintage, dessert wine..given to her a few years ago by a friend...I love that you took the picture in black and white - gives an authentic vintage effect....

I struggled a bit with the theme...I did think of wine like Mariette, but did not go there....On the Wednesday evening that the photos were due, I suddenly realised what an idiot I had been - Mike has a collection of model aircraft, his passion is bi planes....and he has.... yes, you guessed it - A VINTAGE Tiger Moth - It is hanging up in our lounge....Mike and Brad were out, and since the plane is fairly large, I could not take it down on my own, so I stood on a chair and tried to take pictures of it whilst hanging up - they were not successful, so on Thursday morning, when it was just about time for us all to leave for work and school, I decided it was worth it for me to be a bit late for work, so I asked Mike, who was not yet ready, if Brad (who was nearly ready) could help me take the plane down so I could take some quick photos....Anyway, to cut a long story short, Mike also helped, he insisted that the plane be cleaned as it was dusty and he insisted that the plane get carried outside - BACKGROUND IS SO IMPORTANT - and then for good measure Mike also took some photos....The result was, I did manage to take a lovely photo of a clean plane with a realistic background, AND we were all VERY late for work and school...

Anyway, that is my blog for another week....The next theme, suggested by me is October.
Lots of love
