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...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawing The painting and drawing are really good, LL. I did O Level Art at school, but although I passed, it was nothing like the standard you have achieved. 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...
Re: LL's Gardening DiaryIt must be a winter thing where I get itchy fingers and want to start sowing stuff even though I am not in a position to take on a gardening project! The seeds I bought a couple of years ago before I took ill are still viable (ornamental grasses and wildflowers) and some are best sown in autumn or l...
Re: Soda Bread.Surprisingly, there were not many posts about making soda bread when I searched DTL except this one posted back in 2012! So I thought I'd revive and add to it (I haven't tested these recipes by the way but they all sound interesting ...) To hopefully cut a long story short, I found some dried cereal...
Re: Shall I or shan`t I? I have been repeating Gracie, Gracie to her on many occasions. You can "speed" up the recognition by also rewarding her when she responds (lots of praise, "good girl" and so on, and even a little treat the moment she looks at you when you call her name ... nothing makes a dog quickly learn new tric...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawing I understand what you say abut the lion's eye not looking right but when transferring something from a photo to a drawing I would presume (but would not know) that adjustments have to be made due to the change of medium. In the first sketch I had not included the closed eye but made it look similar...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawingYou may recognise the lion from the quick sketch I did. This time with a bit more detail (in the photo, the right eye is partially closed but it doesn't look right when drawn): https://images2.imgbox.com/dc/8d/cbEh6dfL_o.jpg The next one is a face mask. I am getting on with some sketches of things I...
