Behold: the Wagon Queen Family Truckster – a modified 1979 Ford Ltd Country Squire based on the four-wheeled star of ‘National Lampoon’s Vacation’ (1981) – correct in every detail from the vomit green Metallic Pea paint to faux wood panelling and missing hubcap.
Fitted with a 5.0l V8 engine and automatic transmission it is – unlike the original Griswoldmobile – reliable and ready to drive.
Up for auction (at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach) next month.
Inni-K – Crush
Dublin-based singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter’s new single about first love, taken from her second album ‘The Hare & The Line’.
Inni-K says:
“Isn’t it funny that years later, still – whenever that lovely glowing, helpless kind of feeling of having a crush on someone comes over me; it feels just exactly like it did when I was ten years old fancying this lovely lad in school who used to share his Hobnob biscuits with me at lunchtime…”

The life sized crocheted and knitted figures of Finnish artist Liisa Hietanen – all modelled on friends and neighbours in her hometown of Hämeenkyrö. She sez:
“I meet my models in natural everyday situations. The process of choosing a model is intuitive. The person depicted might be someone I meet in the library, in the locker room of the gym, or walking their dog on the way home. I don’t know most of my models beforehand but as the process goes on I get to know them.”
Once complete, Liisa’s yarny doppelgängers are displayed in the town and have also featured in group exhibitions.
More of her work here.
“This thing about right wing, I think is bollox” @adamboultonSKY overheard saying after SkyNews went to ad break – must be after @IainDale asked him was new definition of “right wing” was being a Brexiter.
