Hobby...

Sometimes I get a wave of affection for my latent obsession, and last week I joined a very famous Social Network (see the first photo for clue), which I've resisted for years...in fact despised...and it's only through some notion of 'business' that I succumbed...it re-kindled my passion!

Keeping Moving...

I ran 8K (not to be mistaken for a K8) along the seafront today...I took the roof down for the first time, I adored my cat, phoned my Mum and had a treat!

Happy New Year Freaks and Fiends!

The Solitary K8...

A Big Gap...

I've been away from blogging as my Dad died last week.

It was all a bit sudden and I'm still a bit bewildered by it all...

I love this photo which was taken when he was about 5.
So, nothing much to say, I'm afraid, but here is what my eyes have been looking at...

...and my Dad's pride and joy; The Screaming Baby making friends with the fish!

Catching Up...Part 2

Oh my goodness...I am so rubbish at 'catching up'...I've been meant to be finishing this post for 3 days now, and I've chosen to start writing something 5 minutes before I go out...anyway, lets see how far I get...

So, I've been painting, in preparation for The Early Open House , but I keep doing that thing where I like my painting for 5 minutes after I've done it...go to bed, and then wake up thinking it's crap...anyway a couple are here for you to peruse...

The one below, is the bit of the boat which is usually below water level

line shapes have been fascinating me too...but to no real purpose

nice patterns...even in an horrible office!

and also at home...

you've got to guess what this is...

...and big, fat list makers!

Now this is where the second wedding I went to was: Wilton's Music Hall.

It was utterly gorgeous and fantastic!

...and another little one!

If you havn't already, please have a look on the new Early Open House blog...you'll be familiar with a couple of us, and if you'd like to come please just let us know...or just turn up, of course!

Catching Up...Part 1

I havn't done any blogging for ages...but I have to say... I've quite enjoyed not!!!

I've been driving all over the place, having had 2 weddings and unfortunately a funeral to go to over the last few weeks.

The first wedding was really lovely, and at an amazing place called Hampton Court, in Herefordshire.

I don't really do party photos, as I enjoy taking part rather than documenting it...but I thought some of the little places around and about were really atmospheric.

There seemed to be an odd combination of Medievil and Victorian...

We danced under the alternative 'glitterball'...a giant mace!

...and I think I was the only guest to root out the Guiness...(I don't behave well on wine)...and I was the envy of many!

Then, of course, guess what I did on the way home?...

A family group...

'Sorry...'

Proud.

A very satisfying public partnership (she's proud of her age!)

Mr Richards has gone...

...leaving Mr Richards' lonely son!

Round the Bend...at dusk.

And then what was waiting when I got back home...

I love this photo...
