    Well I never, it’s been a long time since I last posted. Sanremo, our challenge that is, went well, then badly. I was winning, then second, then, last! My team didn’t high five enough or do the point earning things! I’ve been spinning in the sun. The weather has really perked up and we have…

    When you feel so cold, so very cold, nothing lights your day! You can’t imagine what it’s like to be warm or what it’s like to feel the sun in summer. It really is a low, low feeling. We have had our wood delivered and I have to confess that I decided to embark on…

    Another couple of weeks have passed since my last post. I don’t do very well in the cold and it was so cold. We ran out of wood. As I lost my job and a tight budget is now needed, we thought we’d have to wait until after some money came in at the end…

    So, Christmas day 2022 has been and gone. What a wonderful day we all had. My fantastic kids, who know me better than anyone ever could, bought me some wonderful presents which are absolutely in keeping with, well, me. A very swish palette for my watercolour painting. I’ve been making do with an old, and…

    I haven’t posted for such a long time. I am the type of person who can’t settle if I know that someone is coming, whether to visit or do some work. I can’t just carry on as normal, I’ve tried but I get very twitchy, if you know what I mean. Now you know that…

  • A Day Of Everything

    A day of everything sounds quite exciting doesn’t it? Actually thinking about it, it hasn’t been a day of everything. I didn’t manage to paint. No, I thought I’d managed everything today! I was a bit organised last night. I realised that often some of my work comes in early and is there on a…

  • The Internet Saga

    No post yesterday. The internet connection’s been a bit sporadic and extremely slow. I’ll write a bit about it. Living on the top of a mountain, 705 metres above sea level but also surrounded by mountains, getting the internet can be a bit tricky. I must have tried everything over the years. Broadband doesn’t get…

    A very quiet day today. My gardening hopes washed away as the rain came. I can’t believe that we are only just into autumn after an incredibly hot dry summer and I’m already in a woollen sweater! After sorting out a messy kitchen I decided to get on with a knitting project. As the weather’s…
