I think Darlene can be thankful that at midnight UK time...is suppertime for her in Newfoundland. Hopefully she worked at it all through the week...and after supper she can tie it all up!Well it looks like Darlene has really got her work cut out in judging this comp.

Of course chores are good for kids. I used to help look after an elderly neighbour's garden, and loved it. I also used to have to help (occasionally) at my Granddad's farm. I am sure many kids still have their chores, but you get a sense sometimes that there is more tendency to let them just 'do their own thing' these days.
Or at least that's the impression I get watching 'Supernanny' and 'Wife Swap'
Ohhh...well now, I am so relievedI think there's a bit of 'dark British humour' in this thread which has passed you by, Judith Ann!

Gee John, are you kidding too??? Cause I can assure you that the child with chores, would have TONS of time to be a child, and play. The little fellow in my photo is free all day long. Just collect the eggs....put water in a bucket, and lock the door after supper. Just a right amount for a 7 year old, I'd say.Some chores are a good thing, as long as there's time left to actually be a child for a while.

I thought Pentaxophile reminiscing of his childhood days of gardening and on the farm was real nice.
I do agree with him that in our faster pace of social structure, that many children "do their own thing', studies have show that larger inner city areas, children are very over scheduled with extra curricular activities, with very little free play time left, activities such as sports, music, clubs and so on. Another social concern we hear is kiddies spending mass amounts of time with the TV and video games. It might be that the child with home chores and lots of free play time will come with the bigger smile and a happy soul ..Just look at the little lad with his fish in this weeks comp!
In conclusion...I will admitted I am in a changing world of "children and parentng". I must also admitt I did miss the 'dark British humour'

Okay boys, take a look at my entry.
It really is a child working. He collects the eggs, water the chickens and at night shuts up the coop to keep out the fox. It is not a child being exploited, rather a child being taught the responsibility of sharing a the work on a family farm.
I know that the cultures from country to country can be different...so let me ask you..... as children did you have chores, or work, that you were required to do?
We considerate it character building to have our children help with household chores, such as making beds, helping with dishes, taking out the trash...in the winter, help with shoveling, piling up wood for the stove. In the kitchen we also teach them to make a meal and to bake and to learn their way around food.
So it is not so off for Darlene to included the word "work". In Newfoundland where she lives, youngster also help in fishing season, squid season, lobster season, and are delighted to be included in these things. In Newfoundland fishing and hunting license can be bought as family packages!
I would believe that what she did not want was for someone to post a picture of a child working in horrid condition...chained to a table or some sad sight one might see in a National Geographic Magazine story on child labour. We know that there are some very horrible things that are out there, being done to children...I think she was just trying to clarify that line, or a least that what I understood.
I am interested, to know if the children of the UK are given tasks to do, such as the kind of chores I have spoken of?
Nice set of photo going up....some of them are incredible! I too have picked the winner...and we are only half way there!

Ah...I see that there was a mistake in the handing over of the "torch"!!
I would say that the judge had a bit of a hardtime choosing between 1'st and second>>
Congrats to our winner...Glyn, and our second and third place winners.
On we move to the next comp....as Darlene ment to say..."OVER TO YOU GLYN"

Hummm! I am waiting for fellow contestant Glyn, Gwyn, and Hyram to enter a "Cold" photo! I did as promised, and left the Canadian snow out of it....hoping to inspire the 'damp weathered' pentaxians...and the 'warm sunny' ones too!
Take a shot...I KNOW YOU CAN Doooo IT
You have all morning today!

Actually that seascape that has been entered doesn't look like black and white to me. It's mono but it's got a hint of a tint.

Guess the Doc needs twice the grace!
There are some real nice shots coming in!
