discussion Under Watchful Eyes

[Steve Brodie]

Story;


A warrior patrol stops at a road block and a boy with his grandpa approaches, a British Soldier looks on from behind the barricade whilst the boy walks towards the soldier with a flower in his hand, the crew of the Warrior are keeping an eye on what’s going on from their lofty perch being in communication with the rest of the soldiers in the back of the warrior. The grandpa is also keeping an eye on his grandson and the soldier and shouts across “ahlan as-salaam ‘alaykum” peace be with you my friend.


Jersey Barriers


These (4 in total) have been made using the mould that comes in the Meng barrier set. They have been distressed with a sharp knife and one of them has been bounced around with a small burr head in a mini drill, I will most likely do the same to the rest of them. Floral craft wire has been used to make the lifting handles, (wire bent over a paintbrush shaft), made slightly different for each one.

Heard of Jersey Wonders, Jersey Potatoes and Jersey Cows as I live among them (slight distance between ?) But not Jersey Barriers.

In that case Steve they should be known as New Jersey Barriers. We are the original Jersey. All the others are imposters.
