Congratulate me.......


........yesterday I managed to throw away 5 pieces of paper from my stash.  I am hopeless, just can't let go.

I have, however finished another journal, this one took a turn towards the dark.  I blame the weather. I did make a video but it was too big to upload here.  I will have to fathom out the You Tube thing.
The cover is cotton with a layer of matte medium, the photograph is part of the ruins at Nymans with a bit of digital manipulation.

 Intended for the owner to write there own story with photo suggestions of characters, plot and locations.
Hero/villain?





 What strange things are in the jars?
 Strange writings


 Real or ghost?
 Villain/Hero? No tale complete without strange housekeeper.

On evening I went to see Hamilton I arranged to meet my daughter at Victoria station, coming down the escalator I was struck with the Lowry-esque scene in front of me, so I went back up the escalator so I could come down again to take this.

Last year the City of Hull was the City of Culture .  A young friend of mine registered as a volunteer. One of her reasons was because I so bitterly regretted not volunteering for the 2012 Olympic volunteers because I thought I would be too old. She found herself taking in part in many events and this is one of them.


Lastly, do you think I have found one of my ancestors.

Christmas in February.......

.........on Friday evening I spent one of the most special and enthralling evenings I have ever spent in a theatre.  My daughter took me to see Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.  It was a Christmas present from my son and daughter.    I have been playing the music for some months and this was such a wonderful surprise because tickets are like gold dust and I didn't think I would be able to go for another year.  So witty, so clever and the artistry of everyone involved was outstanding.  I am sure it will never forget it.


There has been some crafting this week. Two collages.


I particularly like the red one, reminds me of Uluru
