Winnie

Trendy Carol ( wearing some urban Chic today) called round and at a 2 metre distance took the girls to her house while I was painting
She sent a photo of Winnie after the old lass had run amok with an old tennis ball
She may be fading but my best girl can still surprise with bursts of excitement and fun.
And Tonight she is curled up with her gin trap mouth lying heavily on my feet.tired and happy
She's such an valiant old broad
With a smile like a large split watermelon

United

I received a somewhat cryptic message yesterday stating simply that " Your men are ready!" 
I knew what it meant.
After a quick trip for provisions ( I must say that the village Warden group is doing a fine job btw) I stopped by the back of my now closed pottery class and picked up my figures which had been fired for me.
They all lay in a box, looking up at me like a collection of baby birds and I was delighted that all had survived the firing process in the kiln.

My group was somewhat pompously called " United" when I made them but given the situation that we are all finding ourselves in at the moment, this little collection of eclectic figures have some resonance with me today.

All of us are looking forward with some concern.
We are seeking solice together, even though a lot us are isolated
And many of us using technology to make that happen

I'm painting my living room a gentle yellow today.
When done my hopeful group will sit in the window
Admiring the view
