For RACHEL.
Dear Rachel; I know this will make you feel better. Even Miss Wylie's gardening tip of 'Treading on the grass' when it's too long, is worth the watch. xx
Thank you Cro. I enjoyed this very much. I am not alone at all am I! I liked her gardening tip too, very relevant for me at the moment as my grass is quite long and like Rose, I also like a wilderness. I like her art too as you know. Many thanks xxx
Miss Wylie lives so near... I so want one of her paintings... even her prints are a lot of money. Can you give me a potted history of prints, as I always think they are the poor relation...please explain Cro?

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!

ReplyDeleteNo mowing for Miss W; just treading it down. How the other half live.
DeleteCro,this is a lovely gesture for Rachel.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
It's a pity she's not a bit nearer; although for her it's probably a good thing.

I just watched the film again. I love the way she works and I like to think just a little tiny bit I am like her when I work too
