Messing about with Boats

Another little boat pic! No other connexion!

A Relaxing Foot Massage

After a long hike, it's just what you need. (OK, I've never had one, but just watching is fairly soothing.)

Early one morning, in the quiet of the world...

Lemonade

Well, I've been in a fairly grim mood recently, and this was too good to use just once. It fits the rubric of this blog just about, and although I don't know whether either of these boys actually is a Scout it is the sort of things that Scouts used to do.

The Little Boat

First non-Scouting post! The connexion, I suppose, is that I found this pic on a blog with the address http://pierrejoubert.blogspot.com/ - but going by the name 'Nona'. Actually it's mostly leftwing conspiracy theories and wackiness, but 'Pierre Joubert' was the name of the great French "Scout artist" of the last century. He was (though he may be still alive, for all I know) somewhere between Georges Remi (of Tintin, and so on) and Norman Rockwell.

This painting is The Little Boat, by the Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt.
