Not much telly watching goes on in our house; but we do love a bit of Grand Designs! In fact to be truthful it is almost the only thing my other half and I watch together.
Kevin McCloud is a hero, I love his quips to camera.
Tonight a man was building a castle from mud and straw. It was one of the most beautiful projects I have seen on Grand Designs. The house/castle was gaudiesque, the two sons helped with the build. One of them sculpted a relief of a tree on the side of a wall.
There was something visceral about the way the layers of mud grew up to form walls. What joy it would bring you to look on a wall you had shaped by hand (and foot)
My creativity started and ended at the stove this evening. I wanted to recreate the jambalaya recipe, but hadn't the time to properly follow the recipe.
The meal I created was more of a spicy Mexican rice than a Jambalaya, but the children and their friends ate it lustily.
Our neighbour told us his son had spotted the girls and their dad on Google Earth. We found them too; skipping down the road! It was a lovely photo of them on a sunny day!
Our car was photographed twice for Street View, in London and Manchester! Good way to confuse Google!
