I'mBack!!!!

Yes I am back from my holiday...
I had a great time, its always nice to catch up with family and take a break from everyday life. I always find it hard however to get going art wise when I get back!









We had a lovely time at Mums, then we when to my cousin Louise's wedding, which was really lovely, she looked beautiful, and thankfully the rain held off enough to allow photos outside the church.
Then we went off , with my parents to a lovely cottage in Derbyshire. There is so much to do around there, and it is beautiful. we went to the heights of Abraham, which you ascend and descend in a cable car ( this I didn't like!), we went down a mine, we went to a theme park Alton Towers, and the best day was the Friday when just Hubby and me went to Chatsworth house, which was simply stunning!

Off on my holidays!

Just to let you know I am away now until 9th August.
Hopefully I will have some photos to share when I return.
We are going over to England to see my Parents, attend my cousins wedding ,
and have a relaxing week in a cottage in Derbyshire.
See you when I get back!!!

A purple Angel, peonies and a long lost cousin!

Did that get your attention?? well first is my new painting "Purple Angel", then a photo of some peony flowers I treated myself to, they are my favourite flowers, I love how they are layer upon layer of tissue like petals. I have some in my garden, but not enough flowers yet to pick.#The long lost cousin is my Grandads cousin from Australia, who after 25 years of family history research we found a few years ago, the funny thing is that she was looking for us all that time too. She has come to England , and went on a criuse to Iceland which just so happend to call in here at the Isle Of Man for the day, so we got to meet her and her friend, and took her for a grand tour of the Island. We are goin to England at the end of July and she is meeting up with us at my parents, so we shall see her again then.
