I have one of the old fashioned racks on a pully system, in the utility room so my washing can dry out of sight.<br /><br />I can sympathise with Nigel though ....<br /><br />Lots more rain here overnight. Hope you get some soon.GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-35548515981320799022011-05-08T07:33:09.003+01:002011-05-08T07:33:09.003+01:00Sweetpea,

We think it is important to support local work too.<br /><br />I know of the festival but due to work commitments it is difficult for us to get out at that time. As a teacher I get a very good holiday allowance, but cannot take holidays at any other time. Also flights to either Limoges or Tours are not practical for only a weekend away. However we may try to get there this year, depending on my timetable.<br /><br />I went to an exhibition of Reija's artwork last summer and it was striking. I've just googled Rit and was impressed, so it is certainly worth a look.<br /><br />We have been looking at work by Neil Dawson,Paul Kenton and Henderson Cisz, but for their larger work would need to go for limited prints.GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-56664212062812559852011-05-07T20:06:06.310+01:002011-05-07T20:06:06.310+01:00My husband has been complaining about the weather ...My husband has been complaining about the weather as well. Having just returned from almost 3 weeks in the Charente he had a couple of weeks of washing to catch up with that he did not do before he left - I gather it is draped all over the house :-( Wish we could have rain here!

How large a painting are you looking for? There is an artist called Rit de Grande and I love her acrylic trees in blossom. Of course, these would need quite a large size room. She had an exhibition with Reija van Art at la Roche Posay very recently. Both stunning artists.Sweetpea in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825399281957121519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-43504526068741307362011-05-07T16:35:53.763+01:002011-05-07T16:35:53.763+01:00Mandy, I am impressed with two 12 mile walks in a ...Mandy, I am impressed with two 12 mile walks in a week - and in the rain too. You are obviously less of a 'fair weather walker' than I am! Well done.<br /><br />We just went into the tea room in Bennets, sat by the upstairs window and watched the umbrellas go past......GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-42786716487095829232011-05-07T16:25:36.593+01:002011-05-07T16:25:36.593+01:00Good place Ashbourne, got a good wine bar called t...Good place Ashbourne, got a good wine bar called the Bridge. Go there quite often.<br />I went walking in the rain today but had lunch under a shelter at Tittesworth, before the sun came out and it was a glorious afternoon to complete the 12 mile walk....second this week!Fire Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477692359400671374noreply@blogger.com
