So this is something I drew a while back. (It’s based on Simon, and the usual in-jokes. Please don’t take offence!).

Ok, so i’ll start at the beginning.
This is me. Lisa Marie Davis. Born 18th December 1987. Blonde haired and chubby cheeked .
I’ve decided to take you all through a very quick journey through our family photograph album.
We’ll start at the beach. You will notice we’ve seem to have spent at least half of our childhood on the beach (by we, I mean me and my parents / siblings).
The above photo depicts me, and my mother. Look at me with my blonde hair and baby curls! Sadly the curls would grow out as I grew up, but alas, they will make a reappearance later on, so don’t worry just yet!
You will probably notice in most of the photographs that they contain myelf, and my older sisters. My brother wasn’t around quite yet, so here’s a pic of us together. Me, teasing him as always.
Here look, another beachy picture!
Whilst staying every other weekend at our caravan down in the South, it was quite often that life would be bought back to basics. This includes a bowl of water, which became the BEST play-thing ever!
It also included 3 children sitting on a skateboard, and repeatedly cruising around the site.
Please excuse the yellow scribbles. Kids will be kids, of course.
So here we are, we’re all getting a little older, and my best play-mates, my sisters abandon me to go to school. But it was okay, because I got to go aswell and have my picture taken too!
There were fun times. Like going to fairs, and riding all the big-kid rides with other family members.
Or spending, yet more time at the beach. But it’s okay, because I was never alone.
Here we are, at the end of this little ‘journey’ of sorts. With a little glimpse of where my photography interest stemmed from. Always the one with the camera, taking snippets from the past to add to my own personal ‘Memory Lane’.

I was quite impressed with the speediness of the set changes at the IOW Festival this year. You’re looking at about 15-20 mins between each.
Of course, this couldn’t have been achieved without the many many people who were employed to do this. So here’s my crappy picture from a set change (It’s weird because it’s a pic taken of one of the screens lol!).
My pants take on the classic propaganda “Loose lips might sink ships” posters.(Yes, I know.. it was a miserable effort this week.)
This phrase was coined as a slogan during WWII as part of the US Office of War Information’s attempt to limit the possibility of people inadvertently giving useful information to enemy spies. The slogan was actually ‘Loose Lips Might Sink Ships. This was one of several similar slogans which all came under the campaigns basic message - ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’.
The slogan was in use by 1942, as this example from the Maryland paper The News, May 1942 shows:
At countians [attendees at the local county school] registered in the high school lobby before the opening of the meeting, they were surrounded on all sides by placards bearing such admonitions as “Loose Lips Might Sink Ships”, “Defense On The Sea Begins On The Shore”, “Defense In The Field Begins In The Factory” and patriotic creeds and slogans.
