Phew, I feel better now. Maybe next year when the month is shorter I might manage to stay calm and pleasant and be a true Pollyanna figure until the spring comes.
Having said all that, I did have a fabulous walk with Liz on Tuesday, on which i discovered that she gets as much joy from clearing gullies as I do.
This is me.

The weather looks balmy, doesn't it? Don't be fooled. The wind was fierce and harsh.
We walked up through Rowland to the top of the lane where Jane and Joe walked in EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW YOU. There we met the Highland cattle.

When the weather's been too savage to face, I haven't been writing, and this is partly to blame for the snarling. I'm waiting for feedback on my new book, coming out in the summer.
This all means I've had more time inside, free for creative projects, so...I got out the paints I packed away and have been having fun sloshing colours around. I've done several things I'm pleased with, but this large greetings card is the only one I'm prepared to show the world. I'm really pleased with it.
Today is a new day and it's snowing and set to continue. I'll be painting again, and trying to be nice.

At least it seems your moat isn't overflowing?
For this relief much thanks. And I’m working on a painting called February Cabin Fever, which is very cathartic.
