Is that me Colin………….

thats how i learnt…..

I found out after my adopted dad died last year, that not only was my paternal grand dad a master cabinet maker and registered into the guild of cabinet makers, but my paternal father who died when I was 15 months old was also a cabinet maker, a pattern maker, and had built the original builders model for the Monarch steam Ship company of the Caledonean Monarch, whilst woprking as a pattern maker for a long gone company called Tweedle and Smalleys, of Rochdale where they came from.

The model now apparently is resting somewhere in the cellars of Glasgow science museum…

So, that painting is rather apt………..its in the genes lol. I love it,

you've caught me out……..here it is lol…….

i have to confess………it's one of those little seaside tourist shop ones made in China, but given to me as a present years ago……..

but it resides along side my other ones, as it deserves to be.
