My latest collage….

Another Tale From The Scrapbook….

Apologies for my absence, I have been busy with summer and taking photos for the Grand Gardening Competition in October, or sooner??
I have also made a collage, yay!!! I only seem to get into ‘making mode’ if I need to send something for a birthday, or for a calligraphy exchange. I don’t necessarily know the recipient of my calligraphy exchanges – I hope that I never cause offence and the worst I achieve is a quizzical frown. I receive such beautiful post – there is something within me that finds it impossible to reciprocate with a colourful flourish. Ack.
The other day I was pondering my early creative influences, and I came up with Pipkins; I remember my sister saying it was creepy, but I loved that moth-eaten Hare.

Anyhow, my collage!

Latest collage featuring a typo from The Guardian newspaper in 1979.

Ack. Calligraphy is a beautiful art, and then I go and bring it down to my level.

Hallo Deutschland!!!

My stats are telling me that I am super popular in Germany and that views of this blog site have gone up 3,210% thanks to my German fans!!! Or a server based in Germany, who knows? In any case I thought I would welcome my new viewers and ask: Who sent you here???? Are you here for calligraphy??? Are you here for my ingenious prose? Should I ask this in German???? Okay then….

Meine Statistiken zeigen, dass ich in Deutschland super beliebt bin und die Aufrufe dieser Blog-Seite dank meiner deutschen Fans um 3,210 % gestiegen sind!!! Oder vielleicht auch wegen eines Servers in Deutschland, wer weiß? Jedenfalls dachte ich, ich begrüße meine neuen Besucher und frage: Wer hat euch hierher geschickt? Seid ihr wegen der Kalligrafie hier? Seid ihr wegen meiner genialen Prosa hier? Soll ich das auf Deutsch fragen? Na gut…

Curtesy of Google Translate, cos I don’t know any German.

Meanwhile, apologies to my loyal chums who generally stick with me through thick and thin. It has been too hot to do much other than stand on cold tiles and whinge about being too hot. I will try to catch up with my blog reading at the weekend, or later today.

Here is my latest collage…

Funny-collage

One Four All

I will have a go at Mr Devine’s smashing idea of posting 4 pictures in the hope that it will prompt me to post more often. Unfortunately, I have a hissy fit when trying to post pictures on Blogger, so WordPress it is. Apologies for that.

A collage!! I made a collage!!

This is not THE big pink bush, but a different pink bush that flowers earlier in the year.

Barney has grown! He still has aspirations of becoming a Great Dane.

AND, another collage!!!

Blimey, this almost makes it look like I’ve been busy.

For The Birthday Boy…

Happy Birthday, Mr Devine!
For your birthday I bring you a post of dog proportions – I know you will be thrilled! So here is a picture of my new dog, Barney, and he’s actually a lot bigger than he looks and is finally giving me a moment to update my blog.

And talking of writing blog posts – I am struggling with Blogspot. I have tried, but I find it awkward and clunky and I don’t have the will to fight with it, so apologies for my update here.
Yep, that’s all my brain can manage!

Sxx

There are many things that I would like to say to you…..

……but I don’t know how…

Dear Jon has just reminded me of this magical version of Wonderwall, and I thought why not slap it up on my blog as I haven’t posted for ages and ages…

You’ll be relieved to know that I recovered from Covid and I’m hoping that this latest infection will help me keep clear of the virus over winter – there must be some advantage to my suffering, surely?!
And I will try to do better with my postings in future. I will find a way.
