Hammering, painting and relaxing

I have been busy in the last month or so...at home!  I took the chance to have a bit of time off work to make my metal products and try and recharge the batteries a little.  While a few things have got in the way, I've managed to make some wreaths and enjoy the novelty of catching up with friends again. It's also been fun to spend days in the garden and have BBQ lunches at home with Chris.  Some days a few cheeky lunchtime vinos reduced productivity a little, but if that's what retirement will bring me...hey, I'm prepared!

I'm really happy with the colours available in the Porter's Paints range, and they mix up beautifully if I can't quite find the right shade. I have about 5 shades of white, which confuses me at times, so I really need to write down the colours I'm using.
