Welcome to my blog. As yet I'm not quite sure what path it will folow, as I dabble in so so many things ... at the moment being Springtime my priority is the
garden, so the
watercolour painting has gone on hold, but there's always
meals to be cooked &
cakes & puddings to be baked. A gift for someone, so that's usualy a quick
cross stitch or a
patchwork item sometimes a pretty posy from the
flowers in the garden or
wild flowers from our field. So I hope amongst some of my interests you might find something you like, if not on the 1st visit maybe another time.
When I started to learn water colour painting late in my life, I began to search on the internet & after reading several blogs & signing up to the ones I really liked; I became more interested in blogging or whatever one calls it ! I had always said, 'why would anyone ever want to read about what other people are doing' Well that's what I've been doing, so now I've decided to make a blog of my own. I don't know if anyone will be interested in what I do, have done or would like to do, but whatever.. here goes & even if no one logs onto my blog to have a peep, I will have a collection of my memories for my Grandchildren to read when I'm gone.
I don't know how often I will be posting things on it, that will depend on the spare time I can find in between the new garden project I am helping my lovely husband create. I am the planner/designer of the project & he is the do-er. Plus all the other 101 things I have on the go (probably like most of you out there) The rest of the garden is badly in need of some TLC which was badly hit this winter by the really low temp. & very hard frosts we experienced. We lost so many shrubs, I'm not sure where to start. Also the holiday season will soon be upon us & we have two holiday gites which we let, so that takes up a lot of my time.
I will make a big effort to keep things coming, even if it's only a picture or two of things I have seen or have been doing, which makes me feel happy & I hope will be pleasing to you out there, where ever you are !
I'll try & see if I can successfuly post a couple of photos ! then I'll sign off.
The end of Winter for the Blue-tits.

Bye for now
