Walking and painting

Bitterly cold today but I wrapped up well and walked up to Freeport because I wanted to get there earlier than the bus attired. I was to paint a barn owl today but wanted to be finished in time for the 1.30pm bus as was going to see Jean with Tina. Jean had a fall a couple of weeks ago and hasn’t been out since so Tina was taken Communion to her. I managed the walk okay and enjoyed a nice hot chocolate when I got to the studio. One of the samples I had painted was fired, and turned out really well.

I had finished off the dolls, that are now vegetables so took them up ready to be fired with the to bigger ones.

I painted the barn owl, and hope it will be okay when fired.

The pig mug that I painted sadly got knocked off a shelf and broke. It had been the only one they had so Caroline is going to order some more. Will have to get the writing done better next time!

Went to Tesco withTina before heading off to see Jean. We all chatted for a while before the home communion service.

My brother died some time ago now and for a couple of years I sponsored a led on the hospice memory tree.  It had been supposed to be sent to me but that didn’t happen. Then out of the blue a couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a new fundraiser for the hospice to see about renewing my sponsorship. I explained that I had stopped but was happy to make a final donation and the leaf to be returned. It arrived today so I will have it on a photo of Brian.

Weather permitting I will go to Beverley tomorrow, I need more matcha green tea powder!
