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.
Love the drawing!! And what a cute story to go along with it. I remember lots of ice cream treats that were too big for me, too. But they were so yummy!
