Belated Happy Easter Greetings to All!


Belated Easter greetings to all. We've been away
for Easter so sorry it's late. It was strange, not going to church on Good Friday and Easter Sunday but I still prayed and celebrated on my own. A friend of mine, knowing the bad time we've been having lately, invited me and hubby to a week in Spain staying at their villa with them. I really dithered about going as my brother was in hospital with yet another infection (poor thing, from all the chemo he's having) this meant Mom was on her own, also brother in law was poorly. My hubby is in the early stages of dementia too and I worried about coping with him on the plane etc. Well everyone said we must go, it would be ok just for a week so we left the day after Mum's trip on the Orient Express!! Here's a photo of Mom being serenaded on the trip which I hope to scrap sometime!!!! She really enjoyed it and it was nice to be able to sit and chat with her and my sisters and not be interrupted.

Postcards from the Picos






I was invited to display some of my paintings and cards in the display cabinet at our local Arts and Tourist info office in Solihull this week. I decided to make a theme of it and paint from the many sketches and photos I took when I went on a weeks painting holiday last year. It took me the best part of 2 months to do it all and I was a day late with my deadline as my arthritic hands gave up on me on Sunday evening just as I was finishing off.




Here's some of the cards and pics on display. I will add some more when I've edited them.
