Yesterdays

A bit of a cheat, this. It was so dismal today that I've used a few shots from yesterday when it was sunny. A bit boring but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

A shot of the graves. See the way the clouds are shaped around the tree in the background?

The road the bisects the cemetery. I often take a shot like this but I suspect this will be the last dry one for a while. Despite the sun my feet were soaked. I need some wellies.

Conkers!
Tiny but just as exciting as in my youth.

And an Artist Trading Card I made and sent someone.

Sunshine and Sailor Suits

This was one of K's sayings - she got it from an aunt or a grandma or maiden uncle or somesuch. I think it a delightful saying.

If there's enough blue sky to make a sailor suit

it'll be sunny by tea time.

her mum recognised it when we were in Ireland and although we've had a few showers today I'm sure it'll cheer up.

Morisson's supermarket car park has three of these fantastic sculptures of fish. They're brass -- or copper -- cut out and welded to 'branches' and look like salmon jumping from the underground stream the car park was built over. I think them delightful. I'd nipped down there to recycle the plastics and pop in for a copy of 'Gardener's Monthly' but they didn't appear to have a copy. I bought the 'Gardener's World' magazine because it had an offer of three passion flowers for £2.99



This is my return Artist Trading Card for Gina. It contains a print of my first watercolour of Jasfoup, the signature from www.jasfoup.com and a tiny story (which will appear nowhere else) inside an envelope.
