Last year I went to Sydney to visit family - and what a lovely decision that was - I had a great time. Everywhere I went, the camera went with me. I took snaps of everything - even the brass plaques which were set in the paving around the harbour area leading to the Opera House.
Each one was unique - quotes from different authors writings.
I had heard of some of them, but certainly not all of them.
Now, a year later, I went out for the afternoon to walk around Kalk Bay with a friend. Shopping happened - there are so many interesting shops, along the Main Road and up the alleyways. Lots on nooks and crannies..
We popped into a shop that sells all sorts of items related to paper - old books, maps, artwork. I had rather stupidly left my spectacles at home, so the enjoyment of these things was somewhat diminshed for me. I did notice one book - it looked like a childrens book, and since it was locked inside a glass cabinet, I did not get too close. It is probably a good thing, keeping things away from sticky hands - the Italian Gelato shop is only a few feet away!
Despite the lack of my visual aids, I did manage to read the title of said book. 'Tales of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie'.
'Never heard of it', I thought. 'Will take a closer look next time I am here'.
A couple of hours later, while sorting out all the images I have from my trips, I came across the picture that heads todays blog. Snugglepot and Cuddlepie have been on my computer all this time! They have been here for a year. And I still have no clue who or what they are. They have popped into my space twice in two hours.
Please excuse me while I go to Google to find out all about them....
