I found a box of old photographs at the back of the cupboard on the landing. Flicking through the snap shots took me right back to my teenage years and reminded me of the group of friends I used to hang out with at the Frog and Nightgown in Worksop. We were all very close and we did all sorts of crazy things together. In the early spring of 1991 there was a heavy snowfall and we all went out to the recreation field behind my parents house and built a snowman. We didn't just build any old snowman, this snowman was 10 ft tall! It stood proud in the middle of the field for weeks, and long after the rest of the snow melted a little frozen stump remained.
A meeting with an old friend a few weeks ago lead me to start organising a reunion of all my old friends from the Frog. I found quite a few people on Facebook but some of the others were harder to find. I Googled many names and managed to find a couple of people including Giles Bassett-Darby, one of the Frog's Alternative night DJs. After running his own business for a number of years he's now an artist selling his hand drawn cards and pictures through his website
tillypepperart.co.uk I love the simple style of his designs and you can imagine my surprise when I saw this greeting card! It's the snowman! :D :D :D
