Food Food Food!!!

We will defiantly be going on diets in the new year--we went out for a meal last night as we couldn't be bothered to cook after hitting the sales in Kidderminster yesterday.
We went to the local pub just a few hundred yards up the road from us.
Bill had the scampi and I had the steak and trimmings-it was perfect, the bottle of wine slipped down a treat too.
Now we don't normally do puddings but just for a change we fancied trying the Caribbean sundae--- oh boy it was to die for--double chocolate ice cream, coconut ice cream and rum and raisin ice cream, layered with toasted coconut and a chocolate sauce over the top with a flake and biscuit to finish.
We will be having that one again for sure!

We popped over to Churchstoke this morning to have a mooch around the car boot/market and ended up calling at the Craven Arms hotel for the carvery as we had forgotten to take the meat out of the freezer.The roast beef was beautiful and the garlic potatoes would take some beating anywhere-couldnt have fitted another mouthful!
As usual it was delicious and we were completely stuffed when we came out-- then realised we are going out to my sister in laws for tea at 5pm!
Don't think we will be wanting much food tomorrow some how!

Teddy

Meet little Teddy-isnt he just gorgeous. Hes a Westie x Welsh terrier and belongs to our dear friends Jan and John.
He had a visit to the vets today and Jan called by with him-he was into everything bless him.
He was fascinated by his reflection in the mirror, climbing up my plants to have a better look!!

Christmas meal at the 'Squirrel'

We went out for a Christmas meal last night at the Squirrel, just up the road for a Christmas meal with our friends Jan and John -we had a lovely time- great laugh and fantastic company!

Different paintings!

I had decided the classes for Jan 10th and Feb 28th and listed them, then while sorting out the back room where i keep my stock of paintings i realised that I hadn't actually still got these class subjects--they had sold long ago ! So I spent some of my time during the craft fair re-painting them!

The Top painting "Forest dawn" is the class subject for Feb 28th 2009

and the painting below is called "Snow Drifts " and is the subject for the 10th Jan 2009.

Both are suitable for first time artists or more experienced ones.

You will learn to use a variety of different brushes and techniques in both these paintings.

if you are interested in joining any of these classes please get in touch with me via the website
