SEA MIST

Hot weather often produces a sea mist in the mornings, sometimes called fret or harr on the east coast.Lovely to watch it clear as the sun comes out and reveals what is going on on the ocean.

OUR STREET,the games we played

                    OUR STREET -for sale on www.ebay.co.uk (sold)

The weather is hot and I am reminded of how we used to play in the street when we were children.Not an option in many streets today,too much traffic .

Street football and cricket, ring-a roses,hopscotch,marbles,leap frog and many more games were played with the better off kids owning scooters and bicycles. A visit to the corner shop for a ice cream cornet or a bottle of Irn-Bru were treats during the long summer holidays.
Innovative kids would make go-carts with bits from old prams and baby buggies.

Tea for Two

Collage works well with acrylics and I have used a print from a Victorian painting with  photographs that I have taken and combined them with acrylic paint for a painting with a modern look.

Daisy Chains

The fields and parks are full of daisies. Lovely big ox-eye daisies are appearing in the hedgerows and at the sides of country roads.
Everyone loves making a garland of daisy chains.

Wild Roses

Everything is coming out early.I have always loved dog roses, or wild roses as they are sometimes called.They come in shades of deep pink to white and been seen growing in the hedgerows in the countryside.
Our cultivated roses are developed from them, neglect your garden roses and they will revert to the wild form.
