Well, what's been happening?

I know I have been a little quiet on the blogging front, I promise that I am still around - it just seems that we seemed to have been somewhat busier at the moment and certain things have sort of fallen to the wayside.

However, we all took a day off yesterday, 

to breathe and walk and it felt good. 

Seems a long time that all four of us and Moss had time out together.

We did about 10 miles (13.6km) in the afternoon - suffice to say, I am tired today!

Moss who probably did double and Youngest who seemed to lollop around as much as she did,

both morphed into semi-comatose lumps last night, moving only to eat and then go to bed.

Why are we so busy?

Well, we are still working on the summerhouse studio (still makes me smile when I say that)

Not fully completed, 

we need to finish insulating the roof,

board the walls,

board out the ceiling,

lay some sort of warm but tough flooring.

But - I have lights,

it is warm already.

The windows are in - my favourite being the one we call...

'The frog pond' window - a double sized pane of glass down to floor level.

Most of the exterior has been painted, just a few bits remain - the weather kept beating us to it.

I've got back into baking bread - the boys requested cheese and basil lunch loaves,

seemed silly to deny them seeing they are building my studio for me :)

Painting stock for October is still happening

but not nearly as much as I would like,

need to 'get to it'. 

And, in the midst of all this busy-ness

a friend of mine has recently started leading guided meditation classes,

they are just what I need.

An hour and half of kind and gentle 'nothing'

where my brain tries to switch off (however, not always successfully!) 

Plans, organising and interviews with artists

for our October Art Trail are on-going.

I still waiver from uber excited to positively terrified!

But we are getting there....

the only way is forward!

 

I even have an 'official' event advert for my part of the Open Trail.

So you see, I've been a bit busy...

And you can always find me here,

have a happy week xxx
