Now that we’re having some easing of lockdown in Wales, it’s possible to visit family again, as long as we’re outdoors and wearing masks and so on…. Luckily we’re having a pretty good summer and there’s plenty of outdoor spaces. The 19th century terraced housing tends to have back gardens and in the 20th century, housing development in the area was influenced by the Garden City idea so there’s lots of green space for both public tenants and private owner occupiers. Husb and I visited our cousins and sat in their gorgeous garden, chatting with our masks on and moving further apart to drink our tea. It’s strange not being able to hug family, but these strange times will pass.

Inspired by drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artefacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – old fruit nets, bubble wrap and plastic – highlighting the problem of human pollution and how it affects wildlife. 20 percent of the cost of each screenprint sold goes to support Swansea Print Workshop, which receives no public funding.

Lovely drawing Rosie , it all looks so relaxed and natural, even if it didn’t feel it 😉
Thanks Phil, it was a lovely afternoon after all the shenanigans of the lockdown 🙂
At least you can share some time together. My sister and nephew came to visit and I caught a most disgusting cold from them (and yes I did get a COVID19 test as soon as I got symptoms – thankfully negative).
Oh dear, must have been worrying when you were waiting for the results
Thankfully it was only two days for the result, but the reality of going straight home and staying there, was a stark bit of reality.
Oh yes, I can imagine how awful it must be if you CAN’T go out.
More alarming though is the outbreak in Melbourne where health officials checking on POSITIVE patients in home isolation found that 1 in 4 were not at home! Some they even checked twice in one day! Clearly some people just don’t get it (and there are payments to people who can’t work from home).
