Re: LucasJust looking back of some previous posts and noticed it is exactly a year ago when I posted: In late January, he decided to creep into the living room and sleep under the table (next to the middle door to the dining room) but gradually and eventually made his way to the bed in front of the oil radia...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawing... when I was "painting" the yellow and blue in the photos, I did consider green
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!you have been busy - sounds like you'll have a lovely fruit harvest this year
Re: Getting back to painting & drawingA friend of mine suggested opening the photo I'd taken with Paint on the computer and digitally add colour so that I can decide BEFORE colouring in the original artwork. She also suggested blue eyes but I think the yellow eyes look better: https://i.ibb.co/BjP3gFz/wolf-eyes-yellow.jpg https://i.ibb....
Re: ... and so it beginsTwo years since it was first reported, seems the company making wood pellets from protected trees in Canada to use in UK power stations as the "green" alternate to fossil fuel is still going on. They were only supposed to use diseased wood or from planted trees. Worth reading the BBC report as it sh...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawingMy latest is what I would have called a pen & ink drawing (when you would dip the pen nib into ink to draw) but using Fineliner pens are so much better (no more accidental blobs to disguise!) It feels like I'm cheating but the time taken to do what I thought was a small piece still took a lot longer...
Re: Genealogy (UK) The stories on my mother's side of the family were the more interesting - a Scottish ancestor "of royal descent" With reference to those stories I heard when I was a child - well, I haven't found that Scottish royal connection (yet) Well, some exciting news. It seems my mother wasn't the only one w...

Re: Getting back to painting & drawingOne of the ideas I have for a painting is to have a bit of a cracked glazed ceramic appearance and I had been googling for images to work on. During the search I came across products that actually have the same effect called crackle media (in the 1990s there was a craze for creating "distressed" fur...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawingOn Friday I purchased some more acrylic paint (2 sets of metallic (gold and bronze shades) in 5ml pots, 4 different "pearl" colour shades in 60ml pots and a set of 5 fineliner pens of different sizes, plus a much needed board to mount sheet paper for painting and drawing. They all arrived late on Mo...

I love the tiger. aw, thank you Spreckly )t' I've done a couple more sketches since my last post. I thought a dried rye seed head would be easy but i...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog! We have (so far) planted a lot of the cut raspberry canes to infill part of the perimeter fence. It is no loss if they do not take being all free did you plant the canes or did you split the roots and plant those? I'll be surprised if the canes will take root (though like you say, no great loss if ...
Re: Black pudding in recipes I get the impression that it goes well with mashed potato, mustard, apple, cabbage, in various sausage rolls or with pork, meatballs and eggs (poached or fried, or Scotch eggs), with porridge oats, lentils, warm salad and so on. A bit more versatile than expected. I'm still looking for simple - may...
Black pudding in recipesI bought a black pudding over the Christmas period on a whim (one of those - oooh, long time since I had that) - thank goodness it has a long shelf life but that expiry date is fast approaching and it is still sitting in the fridge ... My only experience of black pudding is a cooked breakfast (bacon...
