Saturday Sunshine

Hell Lovelies,

walking to the shops yesterday I noticed something in the field when I got to the gap in the hedge........

I zoomed in a bit .....ummmmmmm....is it a hare or a lump of mud?

It's hard to see what your camera is taking on it's small screen. I lady who passed asked if I was taking a photo of a hare......"I think so" was all I could reply.........whatever it was was very still........

Back home I can see it is a hare, sleeping it the sunshine.

My errands completed the gorgeous weather tempted me to take the footpaths way home........

I stop to say hello to the donkey who is always here........

Good morning Jacob..........

and wander down the rough track towards the sunshine..........

Here a Robin was perched on a gate post, his red breast glowed in the bright rays........

And the landscape he surveyed looked particularly lovely..........

It may look warm but I was very glad to be wrapped up. I don't think I've shown you my new hat ....time for a selife while nobody is around......it was my BEST Christmas present from a friend at work.  She is pregnant and I gave her my Elmer blanket.

She got a relative to crochet me a hat.........

 It's made of black yarn that has a sparkle and it's a sort of beret style. I love it's pretty flower and it fits perfectly.

It's a strange picture of me...my hair is sadly, not so red...but happily I do have eyes.


At my feet I noticed the ice patterns in the frozen puddles..........

I walked along this deserted track, happy in my own company. I do love some time on my own each day............

Just a few sheep to say hello to.............

And the happy sight of emerging Daffodils to make me smile...........

back home it was time to do some house work. Middle sons bedroom is tiny, so there's not much to do in there. I dusted and made his bed........this winter he has been glad of his crochet blanket on the bed....and it makes me very happy to see it there..........

Tidying our bedroom I came across my much loved  Edwardian Lady books, opened up the pages to January and smiled at Edith's BEAUTIFUL hares...........

So much better than my blurry photo...........

These timeless illustrations always make me happy.

I've been doing a little more drawing myself. Inspired by this photo from last weeks group walk........

I loved the way this gorgeous old property sat in the pretty landscape......but the grey weather was not the best.

So I decided to TRY and draw a snowy version........

It was tricky..........

But I still enjoyed the process....drawing by lamplight on a cold winters evening.............

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday lovelies.
