for much longer than i care to remember. But its now out there, I have  taken the plunge and I finally have a web site

summery things . . .

summery holidays (even without very much sun)

* mean lots of catching up with friends & family painting a picture of my own for a local gallery competition

visiting the glasgow girls exhibition

and discovering such detailed works by annie french

a trip to edinburgh, & the national gallery of scotland

to sigh over saint bride by scottish artist john duncan

trying my hand at some stone art on an evening beachy stroll
and attempting some driftwood hearts
i have so many things i want to share
but they shall have to wait till next time
i do hope you are enjoying these summer days x

a walk around britain . . .

a tale of two men,

ed & will, who travel on foot

live outside & sing for their supper

walking & singing their way

around the british isles ,discovering

the land, the people & their traditions

do visit to read their story

a walk around britain * * *
listen to their singing here & see their cd too

sea pinks and cotton grass . . .

wandering the countryside here

there are always treasures to discover

down on the shore,

tiny sea pinks & the brightest of lichens

decorating aged rocks

in a hillside field

an old empty cottage is tucked

the stories those walls could tell

up in the galloway hills

the softest carpets of cotton grass

nodding their sleepy heads

and when we stop for a moment

amid patches of daisies

we find, packed by my lovely mom

scones, filled with homemade jam to munch on

whilst we sit and admire the views

perfect weekend lazy days
