OH is a painter I am too really, we met at art school - however he got 'noticed' quite early and only needed a part time job to exist - I needed a full-time one, consequently no a lot of time to paint - then elderly parents' needs got in the way too.
Success fluctuates however Economic slumps are not good news for artists
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
How lovely to do something you enjoy although it must be a bit nailbiting financially and lack of time with the Aged Parents too. Sorry to be so nosey - it will get me into trouble one day.
Hi everyone, feet up after exhausting day bouncing great niece on my knee yesterday. Kef , last weeks slow roast leftovers will morph into sheherds pie today with leek mash. Double-bubble.
Hurrumph - there I was, enjoying the sunshine, tee shirt and shirt and jeans weather, dead-headed the pansies and violas, picking the raspberries, OH up a ladder emptying out the titboxes, when down comes a thunderstorm - OH has sent me inside as I'm wet - he's determined to finish what he's started so then he can get on in the studio with a clear conscience - I'd better put the kettle on, he'll be soaked when he comes in, and he's got waterproofs on!

OH has emptied out the titbox, cleaned it and put a little dry hay in the bottom in case anyone wants it as a winter roost - it was a fabulous little nest, made totally from moss and hairs from next door's longhaired tabby (the one that was poisoned but is better now thanks to expensive vets' bill). Who said that cats are no good for birds?
OH is now standing on chairs carefully removing spiders from the sitting room ceiling and taking them outside
I'm just about to drape washing around radiators then get into the kitchen and start on a Spicey Ginger Traybake - which means that the sun will come out and the skies will be blue, until I've finished clearing up when the next heavy shower will start. Once I've given up all idea of gardening today, the weather will set in fine

Hello everyone. We have a sun and showers kind of day here in Suffolk. I have a few bulbs to plant which means darting out between said showers; moss is accumulating nicely on the lawn (sorry, large patch of scrubby grass) and in the boders, which badly needs attention.....
Ginger traybake sounds delicious, please send a virtual piece.

I remember someone saying 'how lovely to paint - it must be so therapeutic' - I replied that if I wasn't a painter I wouldn't need the therapy!!!
