More Pictures

These 3 pictures are as follows 1st I did this one nearly 10 years ago I think and I did it as well as the one on the right for my Children as they were all much younger then.

The middle one I call my Little Deer.

OK they are not the best but when I consider that I had not picked up a pencil for many years scene I was at school in 1975.

I like to draw water scenes and some Landscape's. I was once or twice asked to give some art work if that's what you call it, to my Children's School and they sold them off for around a £100.00.

Then My Church had to raise money for there Church hall and i gave them 3 or 4 to Sell off and there again they made a good bit of money. I must say that a lot of other people had helped to fund raise to get the Church Hall built.

I hope you Enjoyed the pictures.

Some of my Art Work

This one Is one that I liked doing as it's as you see a winter scene and It would be in my minds eye the place that I would want to live in the Woods.

This one I Call Morning on the River.

I drew this with pastels and to fix it to the paper I used hair spray.

This picture is one that I like as I can see myself This is Sprite

on the small boat away from it all.

I have got a lot of these Picture but at this time I'm new to this Blogging so i have to go slowly.

I Hope You Will Enjoy Them.

No News is Good News

Well I was going though a few of the snaps that I had taken when we where on holiday at Caster in Norfolk. You can see that it was in August and the beach was empty and it was Hot very Hot and we had nothing to do apart from enjoy the holiday.

We didn't even have to cook a thing as we went Half board, but when I come to think of it we should have cooked our own food as it was not to good. But we did get the break that we needed.

This year however no holiday and it our 27th Wedding Anniversary on September the 5 th this year and i was toying with the Idea of going to South wold in Suffolk as it's not to far away.

But I would have like to go to Holmfirth in Yorkshire and we could have gone to Heartbeat Country as well we wold have liked that but it would have meant over 9 hrs by Coach and that would not have been to good but well worth it.

So we are saying at home with the dogs and the Chickens and also our Allotment and Garden. I would like to be able to grow even more in our garden in the way of Permaculture. i know that permaculture is not just about growing things it a whole life thing, but I really have no idea and that is Why when I've been on the I.N.E.B.G. web site I have looked and asked a few Questions and hopefully a course will come of it which would be over a weekend. Then Sheila and I could go together and learn while we have Fun.

Well after I went to the Dentist this morning I got my Daughter to bring in some compost and then We put in some seedlings and more veg seed for the garden and the allotment. The plant that we will grow will not only be for us but they will go towards help with getting things done that we cant do as we now belong to the Ipswich Lets scheme. lets means Local Exchange Trading Scheme. so this now means that like I've said I hope to get somethings done that I cant or have not the skill to do and vice verse, I may be able to do something for someone else.

Well it's cold and it's wet outside and I'm now enjoying a milky Coffee and relax .

See you all soon.

Wanting To Get Outside.

Well this is how it was a week ago in the early morning. I think it was a lovely Sunrise that morning.

I have not been over to our Allotment for over a week now, what with the weather and myself having to go to hospital on Monday morning the 10 March for an Angiogram. Of which I have had one about 4 years ago when the put 2 stents in my arteries.

They have now told me that I have further problems with the Heat by which I mean another artery is furring up and will need to be seen to. So I have now got to wait to see the Consultant in a few weeks/ months.

they have also told me and the wife as she was with me on that morning that I must rest for a while? But what do they mean? A few days after the small op? or a week. I don't know, I wish I did.

So like I've said haven't been outside seance Monday and I think I'm getting Cabin fever ha,he,

I did take a look on line and come across a web site from Norfolk Herbs, Which i ordered a good few herbs on Tuesday and by Wednesday at 08:30am they came.

But I have had no chance to do anything with them until I hope today. As my Dear Daughter Theresa is coming around this afternoon and she knows were i want this herbs put in the Garden.

We also have got 6 Tree of Heaven in the back garden or should I say trees from hell. But any way we hope to have something done to them so that we may get more light under them as the local council don't think that they need to be felled! But we have a lot of trouble to grow stuff under them. I have asked for advice on line and have been told to grow fruit bushes herbs, and the like. Last yer I grew Runner bean under the trees and we had a great crop so I think we will do the same again this year because as I see it the runner beans clime up things so why not clime up the trees and the like under the trees.

Well Theresa will be here shortly so I'll just have enough time to have a cuppa and hopefully as it's nice and sunny,I'll be able to go out into the Greenhouse with any luck.

See you later ll the best to you.

Nicky.

My Dear Son Francis.

Well my Son Francis has done it again ! He knows that I 'am not up to much at the moment. So he has been other the plot all weekend and dug my potato trench's, and he's not done a to bad a job of it for his very first time left alone.

He just told me Friday night that he was going over the next day and did I mind! So that thank less task is now done. We went over this morning to see what he had done and were most pleased to see what he had done. I took a look at the compost heap and it looked ready to use so we did, So we have put it into the trenches and we still have enough left to put under our runner beans when we get around to it.

On Friday last week we put a few early potatoes in next to our neighbour's plot. At this time I can't remember what the potato was called, but I will find out and tell you how things turn out.

The weather over the weekend has made us think about the rotten trees we have all the way around our garden. The common name for this type of tree are tree of heaven more like tree of hell. I asked the local Council this morning if they could help and that was like trying to make tea in a chocolate tea pot. You know the type!! Yes.
I've spoken to a few people on line and they have given me telephone no. of tree fellers and I'm hoping to see what they can do. we really want something done as these trees are taking all the water from the garden and nothing will grow under them.

If the trees were gone we could then turn more of the back garden over to veg and fruit trees. This we wouldn't mind as we would be getting stuff out of the garden then as now nothing.
Well i say nothing in the High Summer we do get shade from them. But things have to change so we think the trees will go.

I'm hoping to go over to our allotment tomorrow so that I can put in a few onion set and pick some white broccoli which we have growing over there and that's the first time I've ever seen it.
Well I'll have to go now as I have made pasta from scratch for my family and so we will have a meat free meal today, I also hope to have a good few more of them as soon as we get to grips with it all. See ya take care. Nicky
