I am visiting my daughter in Nottinghamshire and asked my grandson for some examples of wheels … he showed me his and a working model of a (like a Ferris Wheel, but with pods) for me to photograph …

I plan to take some more pictures of different WHEELS and posting them …

@american_twin wondered why no mention of roller skates or skateboards … my reply to both was, “you can always write your own entry and include whatever you want!

The Mosaic was a Community Project on a wooden frame. We were involved in enlarging the original drawings from to on tracing paper using a grid

Somehow or other this picture disappeared off the previous post …

@serving_n_a_j didn’t let that stop him from eating them) - but they were definitely much bigger than the ones which they were selling at the time!

They were a lot nicer then … as were Creme Eggs … (before they changed the recipe as well) … I remember making the little boxes that three eggs came in into little cars by cutting wheel shapes out of the sides and bending them down …

Jes that green bus from Liskeard is exactly like one ive seen before.
When I spoke to the driver he stated his bus (or his bus association), had been in variest tv
Productions. I cant remember which but can see in my minds eye the bus.
Im nowhere near Cornwall but it is a small world so I wonder if the same bus.

jesi23

@standardbearer the bus was sitting outside the place where we were staying (with our touring caravan) because it had broken down. A second bus was brought to replace the original, which looked almost identical, except for the fact that it was normally in active service in St Ives … at one point, there were two identical buses apart from the replacement bus missing one ribbon because it could not obscure certain aspects. So it could have been bus (or another if the company has more than two buses)!

@jesi23

Ah cheers for that.
The bus I was talking about was an old one run by enthusiast. But it did look like the one in the photo.
As I said it had been used in tv.
