On August 12th, we are going to learn some rag – rugging , with artist Amanda Whewell…so we are bringing in out old T shirts to cut up…
Hi Everybody Yes, I’m still here I’ve had one or two problems just lately but I’m getting there its just that the hill you have to climb always seems longer than the one you went down. But hey I’ve been down lower before and got back. So all I can say is watch this space I’ve been fighting since June two thousand so I’m not going to give in now. Just keep smiling and take care GOD bless you all BOBxx
We seem to have abandoned Peakabout!
This is an attempt to reignite interest! Are you there Bob? Anyone else out there?
We are currently at High Lea Hall with Kooj – learning a bit more about editing Blogs and trying to create interesting copy. Not easy! We are told that humour is appreciated . I will try harder next time!!!
We have to go now.
Peakabout Arts has finished all the art work for a 2015 calendar…and it now with our graphic designer, soon ready to print! We will have them ready for sale from September onwards……
Yes it’s here so it’ a merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all I’m just off to my daughters for a lovely Christmas dinner.
Hope you all have a good day and get the present you wished for.
God bless you all Bob.
Yes, it’s almost here again and like me there will be thousands of people waking up on Christmas day with no one there to say merry Christmas no one to unwrap presents with no laughter just silence like every other day. You don’t even see children out on the street with prams or bikes etc etc why because they are all inside with the latest computer games, We didn’t even have electric when I was a kid sixty odd years ago what would todays kids think if we could send them back to those days for a fortnight. ??? Outside toilets no hot water on tap a tin bath hung on the wall outside brought in for a bath once a week with water boiled in pans over a coal fire ahh the good old days when you got an apple an orange and maybe just one or two toys if you were lucky. Their maybe no one here on Christmas Day but there will be memories going back years and years of how happy we were with what we had.
God bless you all and a MERRY CHRISTMAS
From Bob.
Fireworks fireworks every night now since halloween and I think there will be more again tonight. When I was a kid it was November the 5th come what may we weren’t allowed to touch them before that date and if it was raining on the night the bonfire still went ahead.
Potatoes were put round the edge of the fire for us to eat all the fireworks were let off by adults unless it was a sparkler but even they were lit for us and we had to wear gloves to hold them. How things have changed yes there are still some bonfires where adults are completely in charge but there doe’s seem to be a lot of youngsters running about with fireworks and I would imagine that some will end up in hospital.

This new project we are doing making large ceramic tiles to go on Dinting station is turning out to be quite an interesting project I hope everybody is enjoying as much as I am.
Can’t wait to see it when it all finished and on display both inside and outside at the station I think it will look fantastic and will be there for many years to come showing people just what we can achieve.

Yes, I’v had a long weekend in Blackpool with my cousin the weather was very good and the Hotel Canasta was excellent in every way good food excellent staff they could not have been better. We would recommend the hotel to anyone on Saturday night the entertainment was very good see attached photo. Can’t remember their names but they were good I hope they will be there next time we go they sang country songs.
