Very little art


I haven’t made much in the way of prints or books this past three weeks but I haven’t just been twiddling my thumbs 

We have been on holiday for a week in Scotland, eight adults, one four and one three year old and two babies. The weather was glorious and I was so busy I didn’t take many photos., though I do have this one of a rather nice shed in Castle Douglas.
 I also spent a day in the gardens at Millbarn, they are the project of a member of the Art Society and we go there each year to draw and eat. Very little drawing this year but I did take photos, mainly of his wonderful garden structures. This one is half way up a cliff and you cross a rope bridge to get there from the garden.
And gardening brings us back to the allotment. This has been occupying us most days. We’ve had it 2 months today and it has gone from this. (Grandson and granddad surveying the boundaries on the first day)

Through this (starting digging)
To this
Its addictive. We go down after tea to water and do a bit and end up coming back in the dark.
