Happy New Year

May the New Year bring Happiness, joy and humour.  Music to calm the nerves through the tumultous world we live in.  Greensleeves played on the flute and harp.  



And the artist I would pick today is Elizabeth Blackadder for her paintings of flowers.  The blue meconopsis, such a fragile flower, reminds me of an Abbey garden visited in Devon.  Acid soil must have reigned in this garden amongst the rhododendrons and other shrubs, but the candelabra primroses (and I shall find the name eventually in my head!) Bulleyna and the blue of the poppy will leave a forever memory ;)

  1. I adore the work of ElizabethBlackadder - no-one to touch her.
    Being deaf I find music hard to listen to (and I have been a musician all my life) but this was beautiful because being on a high frequency I could hear it so clearly - so thank you for that. May you all have a good 2019.

  4. Happy New Year to you to Arleen, as to the world I wish a much better outcome than 2018 but I doubt it will shake itself free of all the misery. So in the end one has to cast a humorous eye over the sheningans of the politicans.
