Boys and their Toys

Yes I know girls can make models and play with trucks and trains. However the Magic of Meccano show over the weekend was a boys club. Girls filled the role of long suffering supporters.
Boys delighted in showing you (even if a girl) the fruits of their labours. Some taking 12 years or more to complete. These boys had very impressive models of famous bridges, power stations, pump houses, working cranes, ship, boats planes. You name it they had created the replica working model.
Meccano they tell us is the toy that grows with the boy, proven by the average age of most exhibitors, (somewhere past retirement).

Theme Day - Passageway

The first of a new month already! The theme for March is passageways. This image shows not only the obvious passageway along the path between the trees but also the small boy with the ball suggests the beginning of his passage through life. His smallness compared to the huge trees.
Is that arty farty enough for you?
