Au revoir ,,, taking a little trip ....

We are going where hopefully there

will be some sun ....

We know there will be lots of action

lots to see , and lots of noise ..

Will be back in a weeks time, so in the meantime

I hope you all have a great week ,, let's hope the

sun shines for us all ....

Ceramics ,, My next piece of work ...

Not finished yet ,,

but just wanted to give

you a glimpse of it

before I finish it.

  

I used stickers for this bowl

which I don't normally,,

and you can see the outline

in white. 

The bowl is painted in

a pale blue and pale green

so I have decided to paint the

white in black..  I will show you

the finished bowl after

it is finished and has been

fired !!

Did you read a good book set in France?

See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure?

 Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry?

.
Maybe we can all satisfy our yearnings for France,

until we get there again.

 

I am always fascinated with these houses ,, they remind me of the Alsace.

The Leaning house of Rouen

The sky last night , Saturday 11th May ...

Can you see the double rainbow ??

 

 

Flying High in the Sky .....

Just popped out into the garden

looked up and saw something in the sky...

 

I thought quickly , must run upstairs

and get my big camera .. (Nikon)
and set it up (lol)

 

 

 

 

and then they were gone!!

A friend and a new walk .....

A few months ago I met a lovely girl/lady 

when we were at the a concert in Oxford

and we get on really well.

 

Laura is from Seattle and lives here with her boyfriend,

unfortunately she has to return to the USA due to her visa.

 

So today we met up for the last time before her return .

 

I do hope she can return soon.

 

I was going to take her to St Johns College , where

I take all my friends and visitors but due to the

fact that it was May Day it was closed.

 

Unbeknown to me , I did not know that

May day was celebrated here, but the Students

celebrate ... by jumping off a bridge , and singing from

Magdalen College Tower.

 

If I had lived in Oxford, I would of been there to celebrate with them!!

 

Laura had the idea to go to the University Gardens , which was great

as we passed Keble College on the way.

 

Which was also closed , but we sneeked in through the little door

just enough to take a quick photo of the chimneys ..

 

 

We went over to the University Gardens ...

where you can get these views of Keble College.

 

 

 

This walk was new to me not Laura,

and she remembered the bench in

memory of Tolkien .

 

This the bench we sat and had a chat and a breather ..

unfortunately Laura had a bit of a cold ,, not good

when you are out walking and sneezing ,

 

We had a lovely few hours ... the sun was shining and we just strolled, no hurry,
time was just ours.

(all these photos were taken on my new phone ...amazing)
