Ice Cream Sunday

Ice Cream Sunday

I saw this character at the local carnival on Sunday, while she was busy collecting from passers by her little dog had only one thing on his mind - strawberry ice cream.

Deep Joy

courgette flower

This morning I went out to water my veggies, and discovered this beautiful courgette flower.  This year they seem be bigger and better than ever before, so I am really looking forward to picking some nice juicy courgettes to go into my tomato tarts  (the tomatoes are looking good too).

2010-07-09 -  I got the first courgettes of my plants today and sauted them to have with my dinner, they were delicious!!

New original watercolours

I am very excited about my new watercolour paintings which you can see in the Watercolour section of the site.  After trying a lot of different techniques with watercolour, not all of which gave a good result (in fact some were horrible!) I feel that I have now developed a style which suits me and produces a really pleasing result.

I will be adding to this body of work regularly so drop by and see what's new, when you can Laughing

Martin Mere

crested crane

Wow what a great sunny day it was yesterday, the first real 'summer' day of the year.  As it was such a brilliant day we decided to get out and take a few resource shots, so off we went to Martin Mere where we saw this fantastic bird, wearing the mother-in-law of all hats.
