We're back from our Cotswolds trip. However, firstly I must post the two watercolours I did with the live session. I did them on the Thursday, the day before we left, so didn't have time to post them.

I was quite happy with both of them, even though they were done very quickly.

This Friday was oil live, but although I took part, I was not too pleased with the results, so I will not put them on the blog.  The Google meet seemed to work with Chrome, so hopefully that's a problem I wont't have to repeat.

The trip to the Cotswolds was quite fun.  Despite the frightful weather, we saw the family every day and had a good time.  It was very relaxing, we went into Witney twice and Burford once.  Perry managed to have a day at Bletchley park, and enjoyed it.

The cottage we stayed in was lovely and the boys got used to it very quickly.  It was a shame that we were unable to walk very far with them, but it was impossible with that amount of rain. We also saw a lot, and I really do mean a lot, of flooding.  The roads on the mainland are dreadful and we will never moan about the roads on the Island again.

It all worked out well, and hopefully, later in the year, we will do it again.  Very unlikely in the summer months, as we will be sailing, but also it really is expensive. Later in the year, definitely.

Back to swimming tomorrow, and must get on with some more painting.  I only managed a small amount while we were away, and it really wasn't very special! 

 

 

 Just a quick update as we are going away in a couple of days to the Cotswolds to see Daniel and family.  Last week's heading was about computers.... and that hasn't really finished.  Have had some real problems with Google Meet which is what I am linked to for the live painting sessions I follow.  It appears, after a huge amount of investigation by Perry, that Firefox doesn't want me to use it, so for the live sessions it looks as though I will have to use Google Chrome.  Let's see what happens Thursday.

 My last live session was an oil painting one and to be honest the painting was really pretty awful. Some bits were ok others were... well you can guess.

Other than that I have been swimming.  Restarted the swimming lessons to improve front crawl, but I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere.  Perhaps I shouldn't worry.

The weather has been absolutely dire here, rain, rain, rain, wind and the occasional sunshine.  Been very difficult to take the dogs out.  A friend has loaned me a dog buggy for Muffin, which we will use on our holiday break. He doesn't like it. Wants to get out all the time, and Henry wants to get in all the time.

Other than that, not a lot happening.
