Day out!

We had a rare free Saturday so decided to head off to what turned out to be a very windy day in Brighton. It is always lovely to go there and I think it is probably a place that has something for everyone!! Still also waiting for Lemanie to get in touch so that she can claim her giveaway card prize!!

This week I started another painting at my boys Primary school, this time for the annual school play.
I think this is the fourth year now of doing it and it is a big job, luckily I have a few willing volunteers, it of course is around the Olympic theme!
This is a couple shots as we get going.

Finally!

So finally as promised it is time for my giveaway, actually two!! The first prize will be a print, one of my London ones (the winner can chose the one they like!) The size of the image will be A4 printed onto A3+ Paper and the second will be a surprise selection of five cards.

So please leave me a lovely comment and I will pick the two names out of a hat or maybe a box at the end of next week! (Friday 22nd)  It would be great to get a few new followers, so if you spread the word then let me know and I will put you twice in the hat! Phew.....think that is it, this is a first for me so hope it works out!

Sometimes Soggy!

Our week in Cornwall was a mix of all things but the location is lovely and the cottage in a perfect spot, so that helps with what ever the weather may throw at you.
There was sand in our toes and salt water in our hair, it was great to be out of the city, out of distance of internet and an eleventh birthday to celebrate and beautiful views that change every day!

Happy Weekend

This weekend is a big one for the U.K, lots of parties and lots of bunting! and apparently lots of rain.
Anyway whatever happens I am sure there will be lots of fun, we are off to Cornwall tomorrow, when I return I am planning to do a giveaway! Not sure how or what yet, I will think on it for the week!
