Love Carrots and Other Vegetables

A splendid set of pictures here from John at the World Carrot Museum.

This brave lady loves carrots so much she has had some carroty tattoos done. Ouch. That lot must have smarted. Definitely taking her love of carrots to the call of duty and beyond…

What more can I say?

Thank you John. Everyone else… Enjoy!

Hmm… I imagine it depends how you view the world!

My thanks goes out to Peter Bailey for this strange and wonderful demi-carrot.

“This is the way it came from the garden. I just washed the dirt off. There was no other half in the ground.” Says Peter.

Here, then, with a complexion which calls to mind a dire sun bed accident or a spray-on tan which has gone badly wrong, I give you Peter’s demi-carrot. I include photographs of both sides for your fascination…

Thank you Peter - and my apologies for the delay in posting. I have been morning sick. Everyone else, enjoy…

Ladies and gentlemen,

I do apologise to those of you who have sent in the latest batch of smashing pictures and who may be wondering why there has been no reaction. In truth, I am currently rather ill. However, doubtless, it will pass and when it does normal service will be resumed, as usual.

In the meantime, I thank you for your patience…

On a different note… I should also point out, while writing an admin sort of post, that if you write comments in mobile text-ese or which make no sense, I tend to assume they are spam and delete them.  I’ve had a lot of borderline cases recently so my apologies if any of you were trying to leave bona fide comments!

My thanks to John who, being the curator and all, has brought the smashing “World Carrot Museum” to my attention.

This site contains anything - and I mean anything - you could ever want to know about carrots (but be afraid to ask) in depth and in detail! It even includes a page about carrot musicians… with links to their websites where you can see and hear carrots being played. The vegetable orchestra is, naturally, there in all its glory, along with this little gem…

And these… The Wyld Men and if you like the sound of playing with your food, not forgetting this site, www.playyourfood.com where the Wyld Men explain how you can make your own vegetable instruments. As somebody who used to end their stand up routine with “Close Down” - the national anthem played on a make up remover bottle - I can kind of relate to this.

Excellent job, John. Thank you for making your presence known as well as pointing us to all these fabulous links.

My cringing apologies to Ron Hoggan who submitted this smashing picture on 15 of October, I hope my tardiness will not be taken amiss.

Here is another fine carrot with a willy to grow to our ever growing Rude Carrot Club. Nicely picked out on the green background, too. Top work there, Ron.

Thank you.

Enjoy.
