It might have been a miserably cold, grey day, but the positive feedback I’ve had at the exhibition has kept me warmed through! I knew there would be a lot of artwork there, there always is. And probably more there this year than in past so I knew that there would be a lot of […]
Full of hope, as is the way of my world, that some of my most beloved and cherished items are leaving me. To move on to pastures new, well, walls really, old and new. That the paintings I have chosen for the exhibition are delighted over, get emotionally entwined with,and purchased by, those who fall in […]
A friend asked me yesterday if I was free one night next week. The answer was a regretful “No, sorry, can’t”. it’s not as if I didn’t want to see her, I do, but we’ve arranged to meet in a couple of weeks anyway. And it’s difficult to say more than “I’ve got a lot […]

The last week has been a blur of days out with my nephew and his friend. The highlight of which was probably Alton Towers which was their, and my, first visit. And although the thought of going on the well named Oblivion ride was too daunting even for teenage boys, they loved Nemesis (and I […]
My sixteen year old nephew has come to stay with me for a few days, along with his male friend, and I’m enjoying having two teenagers in the house (yes, really, I do mean it). Its the first time they’ve been to see my new house and it was described as “Well lush” which seems to give […]
The paraphernalia of old potting sheds is something of a delight to a gardener.
