My art

I’ve finally gotten around to painting again. I hadn’t done any since before Christmas, but in the past 3 days I’ve done two new ones. Even sold one! I’m really going to try and do at least one a week or a couple a month. I want to try and keep my blog going too! It’s Friday today, and the weather this morning was sunny, but it’s gone dull now. Changing for the weekend by the look of things. 

My paintings 😊

Sunset photos

I can't believe it's been well over 2 years since I last posted anything on my blog. Life really does get in the way! We've had some absolutely stunning sunsets these past few days, so I've been out with my camera. I love living here in Blackpool. It gets bad press but so many people still come here.

I'm going to try harder to post more often. 

A busy few days.

On Saturday I took Nino for his swimming lesson. It was his 10th lesson, and I was amazed that he actually swam without any arm floats or noodles. I'm proud of this boy who was so frightened of jumping in and letting go of an adult. He's done so well! 

 

Saturday afternoon we went to the Grand Theatre to watch Swan Lake by the Bulgarian ballet company. It was a Christmas present from Mario and Kasia. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The orchestra was superb too. 

Sunday was church, and in the afternoon I went for my first open water swim of the new year. It was far too rough to swim, but we all had great fun jumping the waves. My wetsuit is amazing! Four very brave women went in with their costumes and even bikinis on! There's no way I could do that just yet. 

Last night (Monday) I went down to watch the starlings and took some video. They were as stunning as ever. 

A few photos from a little walkabout too. The last remnants of Christmas.

We also got a bit of snow!
