At last, Ana, my walking friend has returned! This morning, we took a short walk while sharing our news. Mild weather this morning made it feel more like a springtime rather than a winter’s day. Even the daffodils are confused as they are poking their heads above ground.

I’m a self-taught artist so every day is a learning curve for me. Knowledge is empowering. I love learning, especially when it helps me to improve my art. Yesterday, I learnt something new. ❤️

At my age, any compliment is appreciated. Much better than being invisible.
A gentleman, working in Specsaver walks passed me then came back to tell me how much he liked my boots 🥾
He made my day. 😀❤️😀

Had a wonderful afternoon with my son and daughter in law. As you can see we were having an engaging conversation 😂🤣😂
Honestly, chatting over the phone is better than talking in person. 😉

The reason I started working in my garden two months ago was that I needed an outlet for my anger and frustration. Every day, I'm becoming calmer but I'm not quite there yet.
Keep smiling everyone 😂
P.S. a freshly dug garden makes it easier to hide the bodies.

To some the view from my home isn't paradise, no rolling countryside or crashing shoreline but it’s a kind of paradise. A quiet street full of kind neighbours, always there for you. The stretch of greenery allows us to watch the changing seasons. Good neighbours are priceless. Thank you.

My long haired cat Brutus was busy helping me in the garden today. He climbed into my garden trolley and fell asleep. Bless him.

I just had a wonderful chat with this gentleman. I asked him about his earrings, expecting him to have them done in his wild youth. Bill said he had the piercings when he was sixty. He always wanted to get them done and decided to live his best life now. I love hearing strangers' stories.

I’m amazed to find that my loquat is in flower again. Unless it is a very mild this winter it won’t fruit 😢

I’m busy working on a small painting of a pet. Here are the first three stages. 1) I do a detail sketch onto the slice of wood after the coat of white paint has dried 2) I paint in the first coats of paint in thin washes 3) third stage is to build up the details.
We aren’t finished yet.

Many years ago, I bought a tiny grape vine in a plastic pot from a charity shop. It must love the place I planted it in as the vine spread across the garage roof. The change of weather after the hot dry to rain has swollen the grapes nicely and taste quite sweet now.
