Creative Tuesdays - Short and Tall

Mr T's Creative Tuesdays challenge this week was short and tall.  This brought to mind my summer holidays whilst I was a child.  Each year we would go to the seaside at Littlehampton in Sussex and sit on the sand.  Glorious days!  The one special thing for me was that I was always allowed a special treat of  a Knickerbocker Glory (huge icecream, fruit and cream sundae).  As it was always so large and I was only little I  always had trouble getting to the bottom of it, whilst it sat on the table, and I was never allowed to remove it from the table in case I dropped the heavy glass sundae container.

Hence my drawing for this challenge.  Thanks Mr T for bringing back such a lovely memory for me. 

After reading my story, why not stop by Mr T's blog to see what other lovely people have done, or better still, why not join in, it's great fun.
