We do like a limerick, don’t we!

We do like a limerick, don’t we!

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, I wanted to let you in on a little plan I have been working on for a while now. It all has to do with poetry & verses. Not limericks, no no. Although they really are great fun, aren’t they! And you are so good at them! In fact, I digress slightly, but Andrew at work brought this wonderful book into work. Said I might enjoy it….

An Elephant never forgets….

An Elephant never forgets….

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Needed an hour of play to unwind this evening, work a few things out in my head… something has got right under my skin, so out with our elephant stencil and the Gel plate. Wasn’t sure where to go, but just wanted to play, with no fear of going wrong,  no worries about getting it just so for this ‘ere blog. Pure distraction therapy. So climb aboard for an arty ride. There are several…

Too much steam in the kitchen

Too much steam in the kitchen

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Fancy a walk? Let’s get out of here. A brisk 5 minutes round the block  before I go round the bend! It’s way too hot and steamy in the kitchen! Now there was a time back in the day,  when hot & steamy was quite desirable, doable and pleasant! Nowadays, I am simply referring to mega stress levels  mixed with my own personal summers, if you get my drift. Today, I had a day…

Good Friends.

Hi there! Good of you to pop in. Tuesday’s blog I can do as I please, right? Well. I want to show you something very exquisite,  which my dear friend Emma Burns gave to me, to celebrate our Pergamano and Groovi marriage. Can you guess what it is? Look!

A bit rough round the edges….

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. What a hectic day! We have been spinning like tops, I can tell you!

So here’s a little piece I rustled up for you  when I got home from work . It’s no masterpiece, but there’s a tree in it !! I used one of our stencils. The Woodland…

A Plan is hatched…..

A Plan is hatched…..

Hello there!Thanks for dropping in on this drizzly Sunday. Has it been a reasonable weekend for you? We have had a great time. Lovely Linda Williams and her husband came down on Friday, and we’ve been hanging out. Can you believe we had to have friends from Wales come down to show us an excellent eatery just up the road ?? There’s a restaurant called The Cat Inn at West Hoathly. Amazing food. 10 out of 10. Bills in Lewes…

When Bob nearly met his Maker….

When Bob nearly met his Maker….

Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Another little friend dropped in today too. Certainly woke Dave up when he went to light the stove  this morning! Don’t know who was more suprised – Dave, or Bob the Squirrel ! Brave Dave indeed! They’re savage little monkeys – and fast! Just as Dave was going in to gently haul him out, Bob shot past him, and started doing a little panic tour of the room at breakneck speed. I opened the back…

It’s Limerick time! xxx

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! It’s a winter wonderland here on theAshdown Forest. Very, very beautiful. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, when I was younger I used to live in Bavaria, Germany,  and boy! Did we get snow! The Germans are so prepared for it though! There would come a point when the snow got so high that there would be a SCHNEEKETTEN (say Schnaykettn. Perfect) alert, and out would come all the snow chains for the tyres, …

Only costs £5 per club per month. You get a…
