good afternoon all
4.8 today
It's a soggy day here today but at least it's not cold

, spent the morning topping and tailing gooseberries, listening to an audio book and watching the visitors from the caravan site wandering about in their waterproofs in the rain. It's a shame as you said
@lindisfel when we had so many good days of weather during the strict lockdown.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@ianpspurs - hugs for the 'homesickness' it can bite you when you least expect it
@dunelm - I like the touch of green it adds a new dimension
@gennepher - your picture works well and I like the bird, sorry for your struggle, it can be difficult to get back into something when your flow has been interrupted
@Muddy Cyclist - I love your pencil lanscape, such a grand vista, what type of pencils do you use? Interested to see what your sketches work up like
art bit - tried doing a sketch in mum's garden yesterday with some 'watercolour' pencils I found I had, don't know how long they had been sitting in the cupboard, a couple of years at least. they will not live in the cupboard any longer, they will go! the pigment was so hard I scratched the paper surface trying to get some colour onto the paper
today's offering -
watercolour approx A5
