Put Christmas on Hold

 Right now, happy just to stay resting over the next month as the cold, whilst not a bad one at all, has added to the tiredness levels and I don't want to do anything.


Geology at Scenery Nook, on our catamaran trip from Akaroa.


I've just taken the car down for MoT and Pam gave me a lift back.  I have asked my neighbour if he can drop me down again this afternoon - or tomorrow if we have to wait for parts.


I am now signed up for an afternoon's course in water colour painting (Tam is doing it with me, in Aber).  Waiting to hear if there are places on a couple of other courses there too.

On Instagram I have followed lea_and_elfie for a good while.  They are spinners and weavers and make wonderful textiles.  I am considering one of their courses too, perhaps the Art Journal Book Making course They live about 40 miles from me.  

Anyway, I now have some things to look forward to, even in bleak January (the afternoon arty things in Aber).

My sofa awaits . . .


Suitably rested, I have just been choosing my own piece of Dartmoor.  It is a jug from Joss at Powdermills Pottery.  Keith and I would always visit when we were down at Postbridge, and we bought my huge Thomas Toft charger by Carole Glover.  I am now negotiating which one I will buy myself as my Christmas present from me, to me.  Cut me and I bleed Dartmoor, so as this is made from Dartmoor river clays, and in Dartmoor, it can't get any more "me".
