I’m away from my computer right now so can’t search though the archives for something new to show you.
But here’s my current favourite, the gorgeous Jenny Wren amongst the Blackthorn blossom with words by A A Milne.
I love these tiny birds. Full of song and joy.

Three pictures featuring the very beautiful Clematis Montana that grows up the wall of the house.
Endlessly inspiring with its beautiful shapes.

And a friend to the little Jenny Wrens who feast amongst its twirling beauty.

***needsaclick**** to see it all.

And a reminder to everyone of the days when we used to get milk delivered to our doorsteps and it was a race to beat the birds to the cream.

Or to my mum, a reminder of frozen milk bottles placed on radiators in school. 🤢

Full of cold, I’m hiding in today to finish this. I love using watercolour paints.
I leave the feet until last as I find them the hardest!

The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play;
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.

Come on Spring!

It's positively pouring down again here in Dorset and I am dreaming of closing my eyes with warm sunlight beating down on me.

Not that horrible intense summer heat. But the beautiful warmth of those longed for spring days.

A very old colour pencil drawing.

Virginia Woolf 'Just in case you ever foolishly forget; I'm never not thinking of you.'

From that time I fell in love with teasels (and never quite got over it).
