Wet Thursday

Rotten weather again. Stuck in the house again. So, after digging through some photos that I took from the coach window on the Paris trip last year, I painted this.

Productive weekend.

This saturday was the last of the decent weather for a while (months?), so it was good to get into the garden and make a hedgehog house out of an old pallet, and a bug house with Archie. Also did a couple of quick paintings.
The hedgehog house.

Dog Days

With Seth taking his French exchange pal to Lightwater, Archie playing in the park and Sara working I decided to spend the day on the river. Sara dropped me off in Ripon at Hewick Bridge; numerous kingfishers, one heron, several buzzards, one sparrowhawk, a kestrel, one perch and eleven pike later, she picked me up at Aldwark bridge.
