Still enjoying the weather on my walks but I suppose it will come to an end soon as it becomes colder and wetter in the mornings! I'm so lucky to have so many options for nice walks around where I live.



Went out to dinner on Monday evening, it's plain that we have to start getting back to some form of normal but it felt really weird to see all the staff wearing masks! This place was new to us and we had failed to observe it's a sports oriented bar and grill ... and it was game night!! The food was great though and we got to see an urban fox doing laps around the building .... ever optimistic!

Good to hear you enjoyed the food, even if there were large screens blaring at you from everywhere (and possibly a lot of "crowd" noise?).

Loving the mail art which you're so good at.

Brilliant masculine card too - with that fab umbrella man.

Hugs, Sarn xxx

I love your TH gentleman under his umbrella, and he is obviously a favourite of yours too, and the grey and red stencilling goes beautifully. Like you I tend to gravitate to the right hand side, especially for sentiments and for some CAS images where the sentiment will be over the image, perhaps it's something to do with being right handed but it does feel more right...if you see what I mean...lol. I love your mail art too with so many different elements and some great colours. x

Well, this layout definitely works, so why change it.
Love your umbrella man on that pale stencilling.
I haven't ventured out to eat yet, but the dog makes sure that we walk every day. And I am looking forward to those cold, wet morning...lol*
