Oh Joy! We have had a trip to
Yorkshire this week and it is must be the first time we have been away from
home for over a year. I cannot tell you how good it felt to be on the open road
again and to be staying in someone else’s home! We were in Easingwold, N of
York, staying with our daughter and her husband. We visited Castle Howard of
‘Brideshead Revisited’ fame, and walked in the grounds of Duncombe Park. We
also walked along Sutton Bank and enjoyed the spectacular views along the
ridge. If you are watching the Yorkshire Vet on TV, you will see an image of a
horse carved into the hillside; Sutton Bank is along the top of that ridge.
Although I was born and bred in Lancashire, I can confirm that Yorkshire is a
lovely county (albeit on the wrong side of the Pennines!)
I have managed to continue to work
on the ‘still life with daffodils’ wall hanging this week. It is another play
piece, one which helps me to hone my skills and allows me the freedom to play. The
time spent doing such pieces is never wasted. The play process helps me to
decide what I enjoy creatively, which techniques are helpful and which are not
worth the effort for the results they yield. Here is the sequence in pictures.
My pleasure!
