Wishing everyone a happy 2014.  I hope it brings you and yours health, wealth and happiness. xxx

When I was taking my art exam at school all those many years ago, each student was given a topic to draw/paint.  My friend was given the topic of camouflage.  She painted a nice jungle scene with animals poking out.  What was I given? .... ...A BLOODY IRON, THAT'S WHAT! That put me off artwork until now.  It has been many many many years later and I took up sketching again in October 2012.  It is now the beginning of May 2013 and already I think I have grown.  I have sketched pictures of my friends and one of Matt Smith.  I may be blowing my own trumpet but I think that I've done quite well.  It has even got to the stage when people are off

Have just come back from the best natural place that I have ever been to.  It covers Gloucestershire and Herefordshire in England and Monmouthshire in Wales.  The place is The Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley. "The Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is an internationally important protected landscape straddling the border between England and Wales. It is one of the most dramatic and scenic landscape areas in southern Britain" I will be adding photos of the area and hope you will agree with me although I do not think the photos will do the area justice.
