Linoprint

 


Ma Manley has produced another linoprint of Trelawnyd Church

I didn’t sleep today after work, and finally got up around 2pm for coffee. 
I’m sat at the kitchen table, nursing a mug as a gaggle of Canada Geese fly over the village honking loudly.
I miss the sleek lines of Camilla Parker Bowles ( the goose not the Queen to be) 
Her dark plumage always reminded me of seal skin
It’s the apple festival on Saturday and I’m off so will go
A live screening of Manon is on in the cinema too

Loved The Archers tonight , Vince trapped under a tree in a storm with only the valiant Chelsea Horrobin to help…radio 4 at its best…not a special effect in sight

  11. What a wonderful linoprint of the Trelawnydd church! Ma Manley's talents abound.
    Lucky you to have an apple festival in town!
    Am off to the library today to return 9 books, pick up 1 book, and turn in our absentee ballots. Power to the people!!

    Hugs!

  12. I like the linoprint of the church. It looks a bit haunted -- suitable for Halloween!

  13. Well i'm sorry you didn't sleep... hopefully you've got some time off to make up for that... An Apple Festival! We went to those when we lived in CA... the apple cider was to die for!! Love the linoprint! Ma Manley is talented! When i lived in the NorthEast i always looked forward to the Geese flying overhead.. no matter what direction they were flying but i was more partial to the Fall /Winter... Hugs! deb

    We live near a pond and most mornings flocks of geese fly overhead, honking away. Beautiful

    Ah, looking forward to an account of the apple festival; we picked a lot of apples 2 weeks ago in western NY so apple smells continue to permeate our kitchen!

    I really do like that linoprint. I would certainly have it on my wall.
    There is something comforting to me to know that you have Canadian geese over there as well. It makes the world seem small, doesn't it. XO

  18. The linoprint is lovely. I too see it as spooky, but a Christmas card too. Greeting cards are expensive now, be sure to charge the going rate. Hand printed cards [handmade, by a deserving artist like Ms Manley] here were $8.00 each! (like maybe L5?])
    Be sure to get her permission too, she may have her own plans for her art.
    An apple festival! Cider~! How wonderful. We went to a special farm store last week for cider and heirloom apples but there were none. i wonder about the harvest, w heat and smoke.
    PS Last year you slept thru the Apple Fest, I think. Set your alarm, go take pics for us.
    PSS I rem CG Camilla. Could she fly, did she escape?

    I am seriously coveting that splendid lino print! I want one too! Right up my alley, I collect pictures and prints of churches. I would love a price for one if she is selling.
    An apple festival sounds suitably autumnal! Cider is a perfect bonus!
