A lovely good morning

I hadn’t been up long this morning geese landed near lodge. I love geese and my favourite site and sound is the flying in formation honking on the way.

I went for a short stroll before breakfast, this is the view from the outside seats at the restaurant.

I sat on the rollator outside the lodge for a while, one view of looking ahead and one of the lodge opposite that has a multitude of pots outside.

It was raining after I came in but when it settled we decided to go to the garden centre that has an antique store on site. I got a delightful ornament of a blackbird and four small cnvasses.

Then we went to Beverley to the antique centre and amazingly we both came out empty handed, I went to look in The Works for acrylic paints so I could play with one of the small canvasses. I also wanted a pencil sharpener in case I do any more sketching. I also went to a phone shop and got a new protective cover put on my phone. The cheapest way to get a few paints was in a kit. Not pint by numbers but an outline on the canvas but it was barely visible so I had to draw round it in very good light, as thought I might as well have a go at the kit picture. The paints were bright and the image a bit too bright so my attempt is a bit different,

Yes, the outline really is there!

I had put too much int in the tray so decided to do an abstract to use it rather that waste it. Tina was doing some lovely embroidery while I was painting.

It was raining again this afternoon but when it lifted we walked long to the restaurant on site and had tea there.

We have been in the hot tub again this evening and will relax a bit before bed.

A memory from sixteen years go, the youngsters dancing at my leaving party from the orphanage in Ghana.
