Recently I had a wonderful art day with my son's girlfriend. She suggested we start by both creating a painting, setting a 5 minute timer, then swapping paintings, adding something to the one in front of you, 5 minute timer, then swap again. We carried on for some time until the paper was filled - right down to the wallpaper in the little cottage and the clouds on the salt lake forest cottage - see how this sparks the imagination?!! who knew you could have a salt lake by a forest...
We also played around with sewing and I made a little blackbird.
My dried wreath is now finished. The hydrangea ran out, but a good friend cut some heads from her garden for me to finish the job.
I will add some greenery at Christmas time.
Here's a brief video of my windswept soggy allotment. My Autumn raspberry canes arrived by post, but in poor condition - they weren't kidding when they said 'dry root' as they were bone dry, were in transit with no moisture for 5 days, but I am hopeful they will recover and sprout green in the Spring.

With UK temperatures plummeting and the first frosts arriving I have only been swimming once a week but have been on my rowing machine at home daily. We have had walks out in the woods around here and I have had day trips to Brighton several times.
This is my favourite shop to browse lately, they have an amazing hothouse display worthy of Kew Gardens!
