BSL Storytime - We're Going on a Bear Hunt
I am English and grew up in Bedford, and about the same age as the people in the video. The chap at the end summed up the wonderful Bedford I grew up in. On memory from my teenage years is when ever I would try to chat up one of the many lovely looking young ladies of Italian origin. Whoosh....from nowhere would appear a brother or male cousin wanting to who I was where I came from etc. 🙂
I left Bedford in 1979 for Italy with my italian parents and I always say my best years of my life were growing up in Bedford!
Oh how fabulous what wonderful memories ❤️❤️
I too started with Watercolor and continued with oil paintings.that was three years ago.
Those are watercolours?! Wow!
So much history being a paranormal investigator and get vibes while watching the videos
Wonderful art work. A shame the sound quality is so poor.

Oh yes !!He was the greatest master of this difficult medium.
