Wreak the Journal

This is purple art courtesy of a splatted wallflower petal.

And let the housework go hang too...


See Breakfast, several day's mess, half made doll but...
Yes, there it is, my first bits (open on a nice coulourful page). Having been away I've just had an arty splurge and we're off outside with the bike tyres.
Call to brilliance in the background. I'm blaming here but I need my sleep and there I was past midnight reading (now that might not sound late but i usually go to sleep by 10).

Still catching up

Loch clear here thanks to swans.
Just after Christmas

Can you spot the snow?

And we love the snow, and we missed it. But lovely to have Christmas in Minehead.

Or 3, well a few weeks after this anyway

Death of a Tree

And now a house can be built. Not ours but we will be watching with interest. The first stages were taking cores to check the soil, drawing plans and making a model.

Walking on water

Time to change my winter picture of our magic day when we walked on the loch (5th Jan). Which we wouldn't've done if we'd been a bit more law abiding. Officialdom said no, we knew the ice driller said yes. I could rant. But instead spring calls.
A. delighted in smelling spring yesterday - that's my girl.
This is the picture:

Sending and receiving postcards to and from all over the world sound great.

Slush

We've watched the rain all day.
There have been elements of sleet.
Now there is white.

And the other picture

I was really pleased with this. Wish I'd taken a photo with good lighting.

We've just had two days out with other people T loved the running around in groups. I liked being outside. Birthday preparations in full swing. Castle Cake to be made today.

The photos are from last week.

Another Home Day

T's infernal secret agent and henchman:

Days at home

These are our standing snow monuments. I can't get the light right but in reality they are glowing in the late afternoon light.
