A Thank You and an art Winner


Thank you to everyone who sent in their favourite piece of art
The photos made for some sweet visuals in a particularly wet and grey start to the winter.
I couldn't really pick a " winner"
The entries were far too eclectic
But I will give this photo ( taken at midnight last night) an award to Mother Nature
It was stormy last night and the rain lashed the honeysuckle and climbing rose that surrounds the front door.
One long arm of rose swung in front of the button small window and the mood and light from the lane cast a delicate shadow on the wall,
As pretty and as unexpectedly sweet than any Georgian sampler.

I had a lunch date cancelled today ( par for the course) so I made a lasagne and will settle down with that and a movie in due course.
Choir and badminton later !!
The miserable postman has just delivered some very welcomed gifts
A hospice book ( thank you Cheryl) a Daryl Dixon cup ( mwah Liz) were dropped off today and a week or two ago a lovely hand thrown pot from who knows!

  1. Very pretty!
    We can find beauty anywhere, right?
    I'm kind of sad that winter is basically here and we will have to wait for at least four moths to have flowers again...

    XOXO

  2. And this is how fabric design begins. Glad you didn’t try to choose from all those submissions.

  3. It is now a paticularly miserable day here John and this 'gentle' design was a worthy winner. What a delightful idea to take it.

  13. My postman is always happy. We are on first name terms and he puts things under cover if he can't get them through the door and I'm not here. Why do you have such miserable postmen?
