Fuck me, it’s been a long wintering. I’ve written only two posts here since mid-November my creative smarts have been tucked up in my bear-cave with me under a big blanket, snuffling, curling up in a ball and knitting while watching Traitors. It’s been a time of shedding skins.
Fuck me it bloody has hasnt it! I love your writing Nicola, it made me smile. From an old Little Piece of Minder :) Still grapplig but not quite as much with the angsty monster
Thank you for writing this nic. It really resonated with me. I wish you all the best while you are grieving and plus the menopause both dire. So I send you hugs and keep writing
This resonates so much. The emotional rollercoaster of midlife. Thank you for articulating this in such a delightful way. I appreciate the unapologetic humanness in your writing very much.
PS: I also share your love for Minis - we just treated ourselves to a Clubman recently. We enjoy the sports car feeling of it a lot.
Oh Nic! So sorry for your loss! I have been an "orphan" for 11 years on 8 March!! Be kind to yourself! Why is your cut flower patch going? Take care! Yvonne (An old ALPOM member)
The heavy thick grey blanket of cloud we’re suffocating under isn’t helping either 😏. Grieving and being an executor is a tough gig - love & hug to you 🙏🏻

And both so beautiful too xx
I know what you mean about emerging from the dark. Ive been hibernating for a few months but sunshine and warmth starts to bring us back to life.
Also go easy on yourself. Grief takes time and affects us in different ways. 💕
Thank you lovely. Yes, I remember that from last time around...

My pleasure! And I’ve never driven anything else my whole life…

Because the cowshed has to be knocked down which is right next to it. All flowers going into the borders instead this year!
Am I seeing numerous faces in your painting?
Maybe? Not on purpose though! Looks way better in black and white too!
Maybe look at it as it appears in your email? Or step back with blurry vision? Or maybe I'm just seeing things ! I do like it in black and white.
That’s the beauty of abstract art, everyone sees what’s there for them. The faces are for you x
Oh gosh I loved this. Sending you all the love x
Let's talk soon and trade notes :)
This whole thing resonated with me just now and also made me smile .
You have to laugh or you'd cry. Or both. Within the space of ten minutes, usually!
