Life moves fast

February 1, 2021 KateLeave a comment

This time last year I was getting ready to go in to an operation and was seriously unwell. My mister was worried sick and we were still thinking about how the build would look.

That’s a new start then…?

January 6, 2021 Kate2 Comments

Did the new year start? Honestly, last year was strange and it looks like this year is going to be even stranger. As the new year came into being we toasted 2021 and went to bed. No parties and no guests. Just me, mister and 2 kids. A new year. A continuation of lockdown. Exercise… Continue reading That’s a new start then…?

Merry Christmas to you all. I know the picture is not a classic Christmas one but I have just finished it. Hope that next year is a better one. This year has been a little strange. Snow Leopard, digital drawing

Lock down

September 1, 2020 KateLeave a comment

I never mean to disappear from the blog but sometimes the whole world can get too much. Then I hold on to myself and my mind. I don't want to share my thoughts or give any news. I am just eager to be me and work it out myself. It can be scary and worrying.… Continue reading Lock down

UPDATE Hugh the cat has had the audacity to go into Mrs Scribbles garden and place his paws on the window sill and scent mark! (I wasn't staring outside for long but only glanced out and noticed this).
