Moving Day Approaches

Wendel is Ready to Move


Angelica Hinders the Packing

So we are slowly becoming surrounded by taped up boxes, filled up suitcases and charity sacks full of clothes that should have been discarded prior to our last move! We are moving from a large 3-storey, 3-bedroom house to a 3-bedroom bungalow ... not sure if it will all fit in but we have a garage for any overflow. We get the keys on friday so we're going to kind of camp out with the bare minimum of stuff (i.e. cats, kettle, toaster, guitar, radio and mini-fridge) for a few nights until the full move takes place on tuesday (in a week's time .... aagh!). I am still worried that something will go wrong at the last minute but am trying not to fret too much.

Late Adopter

I have finally got round to becoming addicted to Flickr ... why didn't anyone tell me ;-)

The main reasons I've taken the plunge are:
a) to stop my blog from becoming overloaded with photos
b) to organise my photos/scans of artwork and make them available for me to gaze at/bore other people with when I'm out and about.

My main problem now is that I have ton of images I want to post but have to go through and think of titles and tags for them. The first batch are up now (with some tweaking still left to do) ... mainly photos from our trip yesterday to the Scar House Reservoir in the most gorgeous weather imaginable :o) ... feast your eyes here

Look to the Skies

Ballooooon

I just about managed to catch the hot air balloon before it hid behind the building. This photo was taken from the nicest (in my humble opinion) bit of the York city walls.

Sun-bathing Butterfly

Flutterby

I love this one ... it's a red admiral I think ... I managed to get up really close for this shot - poor butterfly was probably left emotionally scarred for life. This is on the York city walls again :-)

A Flower for a Friend

Get Well Flower

This is another photo to cheer up my poorly chum who is pining for her now absent gall bladder (aka Evil Lord GB) ... sausages will soon be yours ;-D

A Get Well Soon Frog

Frog Napping

My friend had an operation yesterday and this picture is to make her smile, even if it hurts :-( ... Get well soon!!! Big hugs!!!

Sprinkled Jewel Drops

Leaf Droplets

The weather in York is super-sunny and super-hot ... makes me hanker for the seaside or at least a garden sprinkler ... slowly wilting here ... send icecream ;-)

P.S. Glad to hear my friend is making a good recovery from her recent op ... not back on the wine yet though so that's obviously a bit worrying ;-)

Superhero Drawing

Mine All Mine

This drawing is my own little tribute to my favourite necklace from Superhero Designs which I love ... I'm currently saving up for another one (or maybe this one ... how am I meant to choose?!!!)


Superhero Costume


Wendel Watches

The picture above proves the ~well known phrase~ 'you're never more than a metre from a cat trying to interfere with your artwork'.

If you go down to the woods today ...

Inca Rockery


Something in the Woodshed

Work in Progress

A happy painting for a friend :o)

I'm doing this painting as part payment for the ipod my friend has gifted me. It's actually more colourful and sunny than this photo suggests and it's only half done but I thought I'd show how it's developing.
