Resolutions lost & found

My New Year's resolution to lose some weight has
suffered yet again!
"Always tomorrow!"
has come a persistent chant in my head.
"The diet starts tomorrow!!"
Alas the chocolate has called to me once again,
in the form of some cinder toffee
which I covered in melted chocolate myself
and before it had even set I had eaten about half!...yum!



At least my second resolution has been going better!
To do more drawing and watercolour painting!
And so here is the watercolour I've been working on since xmas...
and so watch this space for more to come! x

Beneath the setting sun

A big hello To all the new visiters to my blog!

to cheer you up and hopeful remind you all the spring will come!
and soon the warm summer sun! ....so keep the faith x
