I love these great additions to our traditional red post boxes. Such dedication and skill to make these.
Great memories of The Magic Roundabout.

So this gives you some history behind the pseudonym that is "Funky Slug"....
It goes back to my college days and has its roots in The Magic Roundabout... lol...
Based mainly on Brian the Snail and the fact that I was in to Jazz Funk at the time....... so this was my tag..... but this is the first time it's been seen in colour...... thanks to photoshop and a wacom....
Holga 120N. Kodak Portra 160VC. 3 seconds exposure on bulb setting.
"The paintbox tunes and wild balloons,
their watchful eyes, you start to swoon.
Oh painted vile in lurid hue
the snarling horse that waits for you.
Its motor whirrs and colours curl
inside your head the monsters whirl.
Its motor whirrs and colours curl
inside your head the monsters whirl…"

I was delighted to get The Benbow in the June tribute. I've loved her photos since she started HPAD in January- the only problem was which shot to choose! In the end I went for a SP - this is such a memorable shot.
Also inspired by an old Magic Roundabout book that E has found on her bookshelf. Florence acquires a rather splendid hat which I have attempted to recreate. I love the Magic Roundabout - if only you could get the original series on DVD as E would love it too.

… for those who remember, could be a wired Dougal from the Magic Roundabout TV animation series. :o)
Had great fun wire wool spinning with one of my sons whilst he was home for the Christmas holidays. He has a great spinning technique!
We used a metal whisk, stuffed with fine wire wool, firmly attached to a very strong dog lead.

Lady Vervaine was overcome with delight to find this poster on the Montreal subway. Dougal! Our very own Dougal, in glorious technicolour! But wait - what's this? Why are they calling him Pollux on the poster? POLLUX? Who the **** is Pollux?!
And then I remembered - oh yes, Dougal was originally French, and Eric Thompson probably just made up all the names we know, ignoring whatever they were called in France...
So perhaps Dougal isn't his original name after all - perhaps it's actually Pollux....
Does anyone out there know the truth?
… a wired Zebedee (lying down) from the Magic Roundabout TV programme, for those who remember.
Also reminds me of the Slinky toy I used to play with as a child.
The last of the wire wool spinning shots, this is my favourite of the four.
FOR ALL YOU "OLDER" CHILDREN , JUST REMINDS ME OF MR RUSTY FROM THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT.
ITS A WHITE FACED SCOPS OWL AND WAS BEEN SHOWN AT THE LAKESIDE BY THE SAMARITANS TO RAISE FUNDS , THE KIDS LOVED THIS ONE BECAUSE ITS SO SMALL.
Ermintrude belongs to my younger daughter, she was a favourite toy. A few years ago my daughter and I went into the attic to have a clear out. We had to say goodbye to boxes and boxes of family treasures but Ermintrude made the 'keep' list and after a 'Shampoo & Set', she was looking like her old self again.

Taken from inside the "Ball" part of Splott's most famous Artwork, by Pierre Vivant. The real name of the work is "Landmark" but it has affectionately become to be known as the "Magic Roundabout" over the years.
Zebedee is one of the iconic characters in the British BBC kid's TV series The Magic Roundabout (450 episodes) which aired in the 1960s/1970s. As a young child I never missed an episode.
The 3D animation was originally French - Le Manège Enchanté (The Horse-Gear Magic - 500 episodes) and was created and animated by Serge Danot.
The series was re-scripted and re-voiced for the BBC by Eric Thompson (father of the actress Emma Thompson).
A further 52 x episodes, unseen in Britain, were purchased from the French in 1992 by Britain's Channel 4 and given new anarchic scripts and voiceovers by comedian Nigel Planer.

My first Photoshop entry for my Flickr stream. I'm anti-Photoshop when it comes to public works and my photos (Don't get me wrong, I love Photoshop). I believe that an image should be as natural as possible, like the real world intended BUT I've forgone with the ehtics and produced the above image.
Please do not ask me where I got those fancy transparent screens.
Best viewed as a LARGE image.

Just wanted to have some fun in the park like I use to, only problem was that I had to find a park that was not gated and also not well lit....lol
tried to keep it simple, stuck some LED lights to the roundabout and sent in spinning...Cropped the picture a little in LR.

HD vid shot on the olympus pen EP-1. the video quality is grate, only complaint is that if you have auto focus on you can here the lens moving as the focus is adjusted. this vid was shot on manual focus as i did not want it popping in and out of focus
music is the theme tune from the magic round about, but a cover.
The 322 was an RF stronghold for many years. On 30 April 1975, RF252 (MLL789) negotiates Moor End roundabout with a well-loaded morning trip towards Watford.
