‘Do you think we ever met in a past life?’ You ask, smiling like you enjoy the notion.
I think I’ve loved you in every single one. This feeling feels ancient, rooted into my soul. But what I say is: ‘I don’t know. But I’ll find you in the next one so I can annoy you some more.’

My dad died yesterday. I lost my mom in 2023, and now him.

I'm reminded of this painting I made years ago to depict a person floating in their tears. Feeling it now. I'm sure many of you can relate to this. #grief

'Road to the Farm.' (1944) I find it difficult to think of any British landscape painter of Rowland Hilder's generation (he was born in 1905) whose work is as widely known but whose name is not. His work touched a strain of nostalgia for an unchanged and unchanging landscape.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

A watercolour (1903) by Archibald Knox of Kella Mill at Sulby on the lsle of Man, the island where he spent most of his early life. 'The places I paint are within short walks from home; one day something never seen before, an appearance of light on colour.'

This is the apple dumpling recipe if anyone wants to make them. Super easy to make! Although coring the apples was a challenge for me. I should invest in a doodad to make it easier.
