"Alas, poor Davy Jones! I knew him (well)...... :-))

You've been digging in the churchyard again, haven't you? I love the flintlock pistol. I used to do pistol shooting (.22) and always wanted to try the black powder pistols but never managed it. I can't believe how many brilliant 'props' you are finding - brilliant, I bet the children are thrilled with it all.

Had to come back. Is that Davey Jones who used to be in The Monkeys? Poor soul :)

Aye, Gee, he was a monkee, an; we just watched the movie "Cutthroat Island" (good pirate movie starring Geena Davis as a lady pirate - of which there were a few real ones). She carries a monkey on 'er shoulder, rather than a parrot, LOL!!!

Cement skull - £5 from a local GC
Table - free (rescued from a skip)
Pistol - £1 from local "Poundland" store
!Cannon ball" £8 from local Homebase store
Hessian sack - 20p (for funds for British Heart Foundation) from local GC
Potato "Pixie" - in sack, found in the "reduced" section at local Homebase store to 50p for 5 sprouted tubers
Barrel planter - free (left by previous tenant) :-))
Phoenix canariensis - bought for £1 recently in the "reduced" section at local Focus store
Phormium, cordyline, etc - already in the garden
Treasure chest - (red lid just seen here), donated by GOYer Madperth.

Not a bad "haul" for a mere £15,70, eh?

Wow - you! A real lady sharpshooter!!!!!! Wanna join me crew, lol????????

I did target shooting for a number of years, David, and wasn't a bad shot as long as the target stood still :)

Good for you!!

Aharr, now I gets it. Instead of yellin' "Fire!", I otter yell "Freeze!" ? :-)

Had another day of beachcombing today, am now feeling the loss of that hour as much as the kids, so "A Very Goodnight" from us here. :-))

Goodnight!

Lol David this reminds me of an ashtray from years ago, with a slogan written on it, poor old Fred smoked in bed.

Looks like you've got yourself a job Gee .. :o)

Just shows what you can do with a bit of imagination David , it needn't cost that much , plus James and Eilidl love doing it with you that means more than anything .. ..

love the skull but i am biast happy easter

Happy Easter NP!

You know? You just gave me an idea!!!!!!! (dangerous). Tattoos!! Could I devise a clue/clues or a treasure map in the form of one? Perhaps one clue "tattooed" onto this skull, perhaps? (shades of the Geena Davis movie "Cutthroat Island" - which we love - here, where a third of a treasure map is tattooed on her father's scalp, lol!!!).

Hmmmm - you got me thinking, now!! (and the kids love those transfer "tattoos", as well). :-))
