Last Supper!

We went up to the local pub last night for our ''final supper'!!The steak and chips was delicious-and we just had to finish of with one of the Squirrels beautiful Caribbean sundaes!
We are both being hypnotised this afternoon to try and help us lose some weight!
I'm really looking forward to the experience -and it will be interesting to see how it works--we have tryed a few times (half heatedly to be honest) to do it on our own-and have ended up staying the same after a few weeks.
At least we have never put the weight we lost back on as can happen sometimes!
Karl has been highly recommended by a friend who has been to him and is doing very well-so fingers crossed it will work as well for us too!
The fridge is full of healthy stuff-the fruit bowl is groaning so think about us at 3pm when we will be going 'under'!

Tewsbury and Ledbury


We called at Tewsbury on the way home from Wallsworth Hall today-the weather was beautiful-hard to believe that it was all completely flooded this time last year. We couldn't resist calling at Ledbury afterwards, as always, there are some lovely shops there!
By the time we got home we couldn't be bothered to start cooking, so called by at The Squirrel for a steak and all the trimmings-and very nice it was too!

Tenbry WI Demo



We had a very enjoyable day at Tenbry WI . Pictured is Linda who won the raffle and chose "Summer Day"
I think everyone was surprised at quickly the paintings developed before them--I had lots of questions from the audience and I think we may find one or two joining in the classes!

Rachaels Poppy Quartet


We waited with baited breath last night for Rachael to come from Wales to pick up her Poppy Quartet poppy painting.
Its really difficult to photograph red paintings and get a true colour.I have been emailing her each stage of her commission as I have painted it, but have never been completely happy with the image Ive sent--I have always had to say to her that the pic isnt as orange as it looks-its really dark red!!!---- ironic that a few minutes before she arrived last night, I took this pic of her painting and the colours came out as near as dam it!
Anyway she walked in with her friend and exclaimed "I love It"" brilliant , just what I wanted and you were right about the colour, its just what I wanted to match my kitchen!"
After some advice about how exactly to hang all 4 canvas ,we had a lift off them up to The Squirrel pub, next to the travel lodge where they were staying.
Its only just up the road from us-real handy for the classes , but it was freezing really hard and didnt want to drive so we could relax and have a drink!!!!
This painting along with all my others is logged with http://www.protectmywork.com/
