Yesterday was one of those days, one you will always remember, and in 20 years won’t believe it’s 20 years since you sat and watched Wills and Kate get married. My first Royal wedding was Princess Anne’s then Prince Andrew and then Charles and Diana, now I find it a bit weird to be watching the next generation of Royal’s tie the knot. Anyway, we spent the day and half the night at friends, who live perched on a hill just outside the now infamous village of Melsonby. They have incredible views of North Yorkshire and Teesdale which were spoilt a bit by the low cloud, but this picture was taken from the terrace just outside the kitchen door.
Inside we had a spread of food fit for the Royal reception, and besides the fantastic, and very English corned beef pie, trifle and other assorted goodies was this wonderful Union Jack inspired cheese board, which someone had nibbled at before I could get a picture! It was a great and memorable day, but was also a ‘lost’ day as far as working on my Final Major Project goes, hopefully I will burn some midnight oil over the next two weeks and make it up. Life has a habit of getting in the way when you make plans, and another interruption was the discovery, at bedtime last night, of a water leak under the floor in the utility. So, water turned off, and a plumber called today, we had to lift lots of the slate floor to locate and cap off the hot water to our sink in the loo. Still, not the end of the world, and we never liked that floor anyway, I was just glad it happened before we went to bed or the Chihuahua’s, who sleep in there, may have drowned!!
I’ve done a few little drawing sheets to give me some new imagery to work with for my last design, I am using one of the crop circles, some florals and the dragonfly to take the design forward into development.
I will be working on this from now on, as I have just handed in my other module, my Professional Practice Folio. It feels great to be so close to finishing, and I am already planning to clean the house for at least a week, as this is what it will take to get it back in shape after so much neglect. Mick is outside cooking supper on the barbecue as I type, although I think we will eat indoors, as despite the sunshine it has been chilly all day. Better get finished, eat, and then get back to work, as every hour counts, we are down to counting days, rather than weeks now – crikey!
Will leave you with this picture of me and my girlies – note my patriotic attire – and enjoy the long weekend people xxx
what a lovely pic of you and your girls! I love your new drawings!
