At some stage (tomorrow I hope) I shall be back into drawing.
Besides Christmas, I have had to do the end-of-year accounts for #2 son's company ...which took ages. In the midst of the accounting I changed the wheel on my granddaughter's car and damaged my back in the process, which stopped me drawing - I'm OK now though!
Then it was Christmas! My best friend granddaughter gave Pat and I an envelope as a Christmas present ...!
It contained:
Return train tickets to London and back.
Hotel Room for 2 nights
Tickets for the best seats in the house for
Dinner for two at the Ritz, Piccadilly! Rubbing shoulders with the millionaires!
We got back this afternoon!
As you can see I have hardly had a moment to blog, let alone do any drawing ... however ... my next project is both Very English AND Very American!!! Given a fair wind I shall set sail tomorrow on the new work!!
Dear John, what a nice gift! A thought of love which becomes happiness and precious memories.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be back to the drawing with more enthusiasm after moments so special!
I wish you a 2013 full of HEALTH and WELLNESS, HARMONY,GREAT ART, together with your beloved family.
Thank you, Rita.

ReplyDeleteJohn, I wish you and your family a very Happy new Year!
Thank you, Kathryn. A Happy New Year to you too!
ReplyDeleteYou're not a million nautical miles off with your Clipper prediction :0).
I'll try to get over to see what you've been up to later, Coffee & Cookies?
Sorry to hear about your back John, but it's so easily done at our age. That's a fabulous present your Granddaughter gave you ... lucky you!! As for the next project, the cryptic clues point towards the Mayflower me thinks. Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to seeing it very much. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeletePre-dates the 'Mayflower'
DeleteThank you, John!
Oh my goodness! What an AMAZING gift! Happy New-Year!
ReplyDeleteEnglish AND American! Can't WAIT!! Happy New Year, John!
ReplyDeleteIs your granddaughter up to adopting me? I come house trained and travel on trains nicely, have excellent table manners and love sitting in the best sets in the house!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your next project. Your outing sounds like it was wonderful fun! It is so good to have you back---no more tire changing! or is it "tyre"?
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful present you got! Guess you had a great time! :)
