It was all a bit of a mad dash, with not much time to panic as it was a cancellation. But the surgery was very much needed as the drawing hand was really struggling with bad arthritis and pain. A massive thankyou to my friends and even to people I know only a little, forContinue reading “Paw me”

In this Moment
Dearest friends. How are you holding up? What strategies are working best? Although not easy getting the tribe up so early, the pleasure of early sunlight and space to roam for ten minutes was lovely and worth every grumble. (actually, some of the tribe, the four legged contingency would eagerly beach walk at midnight; soContinue reading “In this Moment”
A spoonful of sugar …
Hello dear friends. Well, what started as a regular kind of monthly journal has become something very different this month. We truly hope you are well, wherever you are and send our thoughts to you in the world. As we all hunker down for little while there are some small things, we can do toContinue reading “A spoonful of sugar …”
Baby steps
This year has floored me, and thankfully after months of persistence and perseverance things are starting to happen now on the medical front, although, they are far from resolved. Tomorrow a knee operation will start things off and then hopefully the long-awaited tests and mri’s we are waiting for will get organised. It has beenContinue reading “Baby steps”
Keep watering your garden
I don’t claim to be an expert in anything but the contents of my own head and an awful lot of creative seeds… Here at the Beach Hut we make a real effort to rise above negativity that can impact day to day, because we are about being bigger than what life throws at usContinue reading “Keep watering your garden”

Cheese
Today I had to ask my friend what my blog was about. It made me laugh. I found that summing up what we talk about in our classes and on here is too huge to put into a few sentences. When this started I thought it would be about art, a little comment on artyContinue reading “Cheese”
The Blank Page
Where to begin…. Again……. I’ll let you into a secret.. Blank canvas syndrome is an actual thing. Stalling at the moment of creative freedom is the hurdle of almost anyone who ever picks up a brush or a pencil. We imagine ourselves unable to do this massively hard thing which encompasses our genius inContinue reading “The Blank Page”
The Holy Grail
Do you ever wonder what the meaning of life is? A few things I’ve noticed along the way seem to end up in the same spot. Here… Right back where you started This came about recently when my daughter was watching a series of life hacks for kids. It is a great idea, and theContinue reading “The Holy Grail”
On Being Nice..x
I am realising that it is often hard for people to believe in goodness. Or people just being nice. So much so, that we can easily destroy the vital essence of giving, without needing anything in return simply because someone can’t cope with our gift. And we end up apologising for our choices andContinue reading “On Being Nice..x”
