Hot Hot Hot! Apparently a record-breaking temperature today. Husb and I took an elderly relative to visit the beautiful Dynefor estate near Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire. It has great walks; a magnificent 17th century house, remodelled by The Victorians; a deer park; very rare white cattle; beautiful Picturesque scenery; a medieval castle; magnificent trees, up to 700 years old; a tea room serving bara brith; a Ha-ha and a shop. A grand day out.

There’s a lovely exhibition of contemporary printmaking at Swansea Print Workshop this week (until September 29th) and if you fancy popping in to see it tomorrow afternoon (Sunday 22nd), I’ll be show sitting (which is a much nicer way of saying invigilation IMHO) from 1.30 – 4.30. If you haven’t been to the print […]

Deadline: September 30th 2018 – The Evening Standard Art Prize. No entry fee. UK residents. Digital entry. Competitions for creatives can be controversial. Some have extortionate entry fees, some have the odds stacked against those who are not members of a particular arts organisation. But I’m happy to give the heads up to competitions that […]

Hot? Send some here! Though I shouldn’t complain. We wouldn’t think it cold at all if we encountered the same temperatures in fall or winter. But it feels a bit chilly for May. Tempted to turn the heat back on, but we’ve resisted …. we just don our sweaters and frown about it.
Fabulous drawing, so fill with character.
Last week we were sitting on the settee in jumpers, fingerless mittens and blankets over our laps!!!! Coldest Spring for many years. It’s lovely now 😀
Ai yi yi! Mother Nature is capricious!
She certainly is! Pouring here now 😠
Sounds like a grand day!
Oh it was 😀
What beautiful white cattle . I think that 2 days of sunshine is about all of us can cope with – people go a bit crazy in Swansea. The beach in Swansea looked like it was covered in hundreds and thousands! Incredible.
They’re gorgeous. Sun gone now though. Probably for the best lol 😀
I’m so glad you’re finally in hot weather!! Soak it up!
Trouble is, we’re both gingers, practically nightwalkers, so 2 days of sunshine is about all we can cope with 😁
