From up there

I can't believe I've managed to post on Tuesday. Things are looking up - no pun intended.

From up there

I only see this once a day

 

Shops

I've finally managed to blog and I hope I will be able to do so for the rest of the year.
I'm feeling a lot better now and I am hoping to be home by the 1st December.
We went for a trip out yesterday and I took as many photos of shops as I could.

 

Shauns local Super market

 Health food shop

 Opticians

 The bakers

They make lovely bread and cakes

 The Fishmongers next door

I'm not sure if I'll get any more shops tomorrow but if we go out I'm sure I'll find some.

I think these clouds looks like a crab

 

Work and play

I've finished Pepper Pig apart from her cheeks and I can't do them at the moment because I have run out of dark pink embroidery thread.

This rag rug is for the ME Craft Group.

I've brought it away with me so I can get some of the dull beige bits done.

The group seem to have lost interest in it and I'm hoping getting the beige outline in will give them an incentive to carry on the coloured bits.

Just need to outline the edge of the rug now.

 

Work

I brought some blueberry bushes and raspberry canes for Shaun and Fiona. (Fiona loves fruit but Shaun is not so keen.

I wasn't sure where to plant them so decided to put them in pots in the yard for the time being.

First the yard needed tidying up

The soil that had accumulated needed riddling and putting back on the beds

 Now the yard is tidy enough to put the pots on

 The blueberry bushes

 and the raspberry canes

When we were clearing this area we found lots more yard to clear

That is a job for another day.

 

What are you doing this week?

Kathie has asked us to get photos of what we are doing during the week
I've had trouble downloading the pictures so I couldn't post until today.

Sunday Pictures

I don't have these paintings but I thought I would show you two of the ones I would love.

 

This is by Julie Dunbarton a Scottish Artist

 

 This is by Bridget Wilkinson an artist from Whitby

 

So far I have bought a calendar by Julie and intend to get one of Bridgets. That is all I can afford

 



Picture this

Over here in France I've not been feeling great and haven't done any ornament type picture but I have taken a few of what Roland, Shaun and Fiona have been up to and of what I have been doing.

 Clearing the undergrowth

 Painting Shutters

 Grooming horses

Felling Trees
