Thoughts on gardens

 Looking up how to use comfrey and nettle leaves for fertilisers for containers.

A rapid squiggle

I thought this was slightly less messy.

Moomins… jigsaw.

 I love Tove Janssońs work - always have, but more so since we visited an exhibition of her paintings and drawing at Dulwich a few years ago, in November 2017.



We’ve just done our first jigsaw of the winter - seven sessions.  There were a lot of white pieces which took some thought and patience.

Jigsaw Minchinhampton Common

Another tricky one - five sessions and a shorter one.



I set a finish time of 10.30 for early sessions, but the final one, the one you just have to keep at until it´s finished, went on until 1 am.

More jigsaws






I may well look pleased. This "Tree of Life" was very tricky! Finished early in April.


The clocks and compasses were also not easy - the fact that the picture was on the base if the box didn't help us to start with! We finished this one in mid-May.
