I’ve been away...
l have been in Yorkshire staying with friends since Thursday. We , amongst other things, visited Knaresborough, enjoyed the trompe l’oeil paintings in the centre of the town , visited a Saxon Holy Well, sampling its water and watched England’s valiant efforts last night. A most enjoyable time away.

Tidying
Tuesday saw me tidying the painting desk. The pigeon holes are great but liable to have loads of random stuff crammed into them. The desk top was awash with off cuts of metal, plastic and wood almost too small to see. Tiny polythene bags had overtaken and seemed to be multiplying. After some effort a pleasanter area emerged much more conducive to creativity. A big help was the reallocation of the handy wee box to hold heads , bases and sundry items.

Weekday wee trip - St Andrews
Had a lovely trip to St Andrews today. Hadn’t been for ages but really glad to be back. A look round Toppings bookshop, lunch at North Point cafe ( we highly recommend it) at an outdoor table followed by a wander about. An ice cream rounded the day off very nicely indeed. Here are some photos including an interesting mosaic.
Last arrivals
A wee look at the last job lot-
I am pleased with this lot and most intrigued by the chap in the green coat, looks like a pilot to me? The Thomas the Tank engine figure is fun. The ape is full of character.
