This morning I set off early to go to the auction house and the post office. I had phoned after the auction and made a bid on a tiny gold plated brooch set with amethyst, peridot and opals. The offer was accepted so I was off to pay and collect.

Not the clearest of pictures but it is very pretty. After the post office I went to the studio where I was helping out today for the morning. Quite busy today but I did a bit helping and quite a bit of painting on the plate.

Very windy today but we did have some sunshine as well. The willow has really blossomed and was looking lovely in that sunshine.

Been sorting through papers and filling the recycling bag, I try to keep on top of it but it needs a concerted attack sometimes!!
