Ground Control To Major Tom

Illustrator Andrew Kolb has made David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” into a children's picture book.  

As a bed time story I'm not sure if the tragic ending would make for a good nights sleep, but it's awfully pretty.

Simplicity is the key...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Bicycle Clips

I'm a complete stationary addict, these bicycle clips were one of my favourite birthdsay presents this year.

Get them from Urban Outfitters.

I give myself very good advise, but I very seldom follow it.

I was completely obsessed with this film as a child.

This video is sweet.

Birthday Cakes!

I've not posted for a few days, as I've been celebrating my birthday.  Perhaps too much... hic!

These cakes were from work, nice colours aren't they?

Dogs in Baskets

Today's bike themed inspiration is dog's in baskets.  

Well, who wouldn't like to cycle in the sunshine with a puppy in a wicker basket?

If it's good enough for Marylin and Audrey...
