Bookshelf Safari (yes, again!)...

It's been one of those Autumn/Winter days that I loathe the most, not cold, just grey and damp and utterly cheerless. So that's my excuse for another lame and lazy blip.

This little tortoise - yes, that's what it is - was made by yours truly in pottery at middle school, sometime back in the '70s. It was one of those little surprise items that came to light when we had clear my mum's house, and given that she'd kept it for so long, I couldn't bring myself to chuck it out.
