What is that Bertie like? He certainly hides his light under a bushel. He has never been a prolific artist unlike Iris, all I have ever got from him until now has been pipes, wires and boilers, so when he started school I worried that his pictures might seem a little immature ……
……. but he’s a little monster ……
…… asking to make some badges (my second hand Bandai Badge Maker owes me nothing after all these years) he only went and drew a perfect little house ……..
…… believe me, my jaw dropped, a house, just like that and in miniature to boot!
I wanted that badge sooooooooo much, but that, he said was for his mum.
I know I am a proud Gran, but he fascinates me, his interests, his methodical way of thinking, his observational skills, not to mention those hidden depths.
There are so many things about him that make me think that although Grandy Andy died four years before he was even born, someone is guiding the little fella from afar and there is definitely something in his genes ……. which would explain his fascination for bathroom showrooms, plumbers merchants, drainpipes and any type of fan among other things!!! Bless his little cotton socks.
What a precious little human he is. Love seeing his concentration in these photos. He will do great things one day.
