Good Morning !

 

The sun is shining and all is well, I have just pottered down the garden for my usual check to see what has appeared overnight. New shoots every day and my sweet peas are racing each other towards the top of their climbing frame. My runner beans are waking up and stretching like lazy teenagers being dragged from their beds and my peonies are like shiny green and red marbles getting ready to burst open like a chorus of loud overdressed ladies trying to out sing each other. Just outside my studio is a pot of pretty pansies who make me smile when I look into their cheerful faces and see them wink back at me and wriggle in the breeze like giggling school girls.

 

And now the kettle is on and I am going to treat myself to ten minutes of me time just sitting and watching the bumble bees.

 

Have a lovely day!

If you go down to the woods today.....

 

You're sure of a big surprise ! Hidden amongst the bluebells you will find me and my friends grabbing the opportunity to capture this truly gorgeous scene. I was giving a workshop on composition and how to make use of your sketch book to record the colours of a British woodland in May. What a treat !

  

 

And Alfie came too.
