Small Things

I've been looking for small things to bring colour and cheer to these dull, grey and damp days.  In the garden things are happening.

Winter Aconite



Snowdrop buds


Damp misty walks by the lake can be quite atmospheric.


There's always a robin to say hello.


Baking.  We bought lemons to put with honey to sooth coughs.  I made a blueberry and lemon tray bake.  It's in a pot dish as we didn't have a big enough tin.  Half has been frozen.  I saw the recipe in a free magazine from the supermarket.  I also made a lemon cake from the Cranks recipe book.  Both very tasty.


Post box topper in the supermarket.  The little creatures look as if they are off on holiday.


We popped into the Brampton Museum to have a cup of coffee and a look at the latest exhibition.

You will notice that there are some empty frames.  This is because they are ready and waiting for their works of art to be displayed.  Local artist Rob Pointon -link- is making a painting each day of January.

We will make a return visit to see what he has produced over the last few days.  There is also an area for works done by local artists who come to join him in places across the city to sit and paint no matter the weather.


It's a great idea.
