Potpourri

Mixed bag - firstly today's sketch of 'Rusty Az' playing on the back of a truck at, you've guessed it, the Truck Show.



Outside the 'Social Kitchen' a selection of wild game is hanging in the window.

Our infamous White Hart Hotel where the Highwayman once held up staff in 1893 after a year of notoriety.  He fled with a handful of coins and a bottle of whiskey.  When he was captured during another hotel holdup five months later, he turned out to be a 20 year old well-liked New Plymouth carpenter - Bob Wallath.

  2. Thanks Eric, I'm guessing most things we draw have some intriguing history, when we peel the onion. Look forward to catching up with you at the Symposium.
