I've gone, shuffled off to share the Tart's blog - you'll find me there now, when she lets me near the computer...

Grey Winter Sunday



The day needs cheering up so I thought I'd give you a new action shot of me, an arty image of the forest up the road from here in the low wintery sunshine and finally this delicious old advert from the Robert Opie Collection. I would have shown you one of Hugh's pictures but it was framed up and out the door before herself had time to capture an image for posterity.

Although there's been lots of snowy weather around the country, we have hardly had any here - sadly for Hugh and me as we could have had mad snowball games. Lindsay and I managed to find a wee bit of slushy snow for a walk this morning but we're back to rainy skies now.

In the creativity department there's painting going on (well, there HAS to be, really), rebuilding a trailer to go with the little grey Fergie tractor, muffin making (trust me, some of the flavour combinations have been 'different'), crocheting, small scale felting and lots of swearing at the computer as herself battles on with her grand website project - hope it doesn't all end in tears...

I hope there are no tears, also!

Is your artsy forest really planted in nice, neat, even rows?

That middle forest pic is GREAT! Hope you get to throw a few snowballs soon, it must be such fun.

Ash - you can tell herself that I've just finished upgrading our website. No tears, but much under-the-breath swearing....

Apparently Wordpress (free blogging software) is gradually becoming more of a complete web-hosting package. I'm looking forward to that.

Yup, our forests are neat and tidy, but then they are just giant sized fields of crops really. There are some older gnarly bits but a lot of it is boring regimented stuff covering the hillsides. I don't mind - there are lots of tantalising rabbit and deer and fox and badger smells too!
