Snow in April

April 28, 2016April 28, 2016 Kate4 Comments

I thought it was meant to be showers? It is April showers... right? Except we have had snow, hail and ice. Last night we were at -1. What? I mean I'm used to Wales... I know that sometimes the weather can be tough. I mean last year the climate did nothing but rain. But this… Continue reading Snow in April

The last third of a novel

April 28, 2016April 27, 2016 KateLeave a comment

I don't write long novels, at least not usually but the one that is on the computer at the moment is turning out to be longer than I anticipated. So the question I find myself asking is whether to cut it and write it in two parts. Normally I write books between the 60k and… Continue reading The last third of a novel

Remember that lamb? The one that we found in the smallholding and we were surprised to see. Namely because we were meant to have a barren ewe. Well, she is doing fine. As are her Mum and Dad.

Went to the shops today for a canvas... Came back with a bed spread. Not even I can work that one out.

Storm damage

April 25, 2016 Kate2 Comments

I live in Wales and normally there is nothing drastic that happens here. Sure we have storms but they are not massive. Then 2015 started to end. I should have known that there was something wrong when the weatherman started naming the storms. Naming them! But my family and I just laughed it off. We… Continue reading Storm damage

It’s finished!

April 24, 2016 Kate4 Comments

Yep... Last night I put the final pencil mark onto the drawing and reached for the new can of fixative. I didn't read the warning label. I should have... The drawing is fine but I managed to gas myself and get a headache. So today I have put another layer of this new spray that… Continue reading It’s finished!
