Day 11. Ponies in the distance. Although we are nowhere near the main blast of Storm Éowyn it's dreadfully windy here, which is hard to show in a still photo.

Day 10 Late Christmas present. This rather gorgeous cushion was gifted to me by a dear artist friend, handmade from old sweaters and ispired by the painting of Howard Hodgkin.

Day 4. I've failed already since we're on Day 5. I didn't exactly forget yesterday but the fog was so thick it was impossible to take any pictures. Is my story. Here we have two cows who had no interest in having their pictures taken at all.

This place seems like a large echoey hall at the moment. I think I'll try for some engagement. Starting today, a photo from around my area. They won't be good but think of it as a journalling tool.

Why, when I have a houseparty for my birthday coming this weekend is my husband rebuilding the radiator system, including vacuuming between the joists?And for anyone on here who follows me anywhere else this goes no further. I have to say something or I'll explode.
