Managed to photograph 2 of the 10 chicks

Christmas dinner growing well

My 'Inspired by Becker' paintings of Dad cutting down dead elms at the bottom of 'seven acres'

Brilliant weather for generating

David with his smoker taking off the honey

In Cornwall we bought the kind of skittley game of Smite and played it yesterday in Dad's garden, after a delicious lunch in the farm house. This time of year most things come from the garden, but ham and tongue (which Dad cooked and pressed) came from Clarkes butchers in Bramfield. Fruity triffle using blackberries, blackcurrants and gooseberries, and a huge pavlova made by by sister Jo.
I sold two paintings at the Inspired by Becker exhibition, so was pleased. One was Dad out with his chainsaw and the other was a watercolour of David in his beesuit getting honey from the hives.
