Nearly a year has passed since I last updated this blog.
I have spent a lot of time with my 'swatch' (8) - daily diary; walking log (3) and Random Garden log (1)
I love to record, in my walk log, flora and fauna over the years; to see the variation of life on the Purlieu (New Forest)
In my swatch I record important days in my life - again over the years.
Cornwall 2022
We made it!
πWhat a great week we all had celebrating the life of my lovely Dads π
26 family member went for the week.
A synopsis update from October 2019 to date 30 July 2021.
Over a year of COVID-19 (worldwide) with lockdown, isolation, social distancing and MASKS!; many people struggling in one way or another over the time!
We are now coming out of it - slowly!
We have missed our family Cornwall 2019 and 2020. First in 55 years!
From this came my fifth book 'A baby comes to Cornwall'
I wrote it to connect the family together, sending them a page a day, with my daughter adding photos. Thank heavens for WhatsApp groups with 26 of us....!
The little book is a log of each day we spend together each Easter week.
What we do and our love for each other!
My platinum pen went with me and when home I added my watercolours.
I am still logging and love the fact that I have seen the seasons pass. Looking forward to seeing the variation next year!
We have revamped our garden and now have most of the lawn as 'meadow' to be more environmentally friendly!
Above is my wildflower log.
Each month I am recording the wildflowers that appear, with
flowering time; habitat; folklore or history
I absolutely love doing things like this!
Its just for me but hey!
And finally for now, we have Hampshire Open Studio at Coach House Studio
Woodgreen New Forest
Do visit!
