Whatever The Weather

The weather is still mild but dank and misty with periods of rain.The change in the clocks to winter time means short dark days.Dog walkers have to brave the wind,rain and dark.

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.
