The house is like a crafter’s den just now. Darren is painting models, there’s a distinct smell of paint or glue depending what stage he’s at, and I’m painting and varnishing polymer clay.

Spring is also kicking off in earnest here, the garden has flushed with green and fat fluffy bumble bees are boinking into the window and looking round for flowers. Darren’s on holiday for the next two weeks, so I decided to get some work done in the garden to get a new lawn laid and plant seeds for my containers. By summer I should have a lovely garden to sit and paint in or just relax after work.
