Little Weed: Shetland - on the airways
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013/10/shetland-on-airways.html
Sunday, 6 October 2013. Shetland - on the airways. Saturday was plane day. Angel charmed her way into the hotel restaurant this morning - last night I had to rush down and take a plate of salad back to the room, she voted against being left behind by barking my way down the corridor. She was cooler about the airport than me - I had to unpack my handluggage. To find the liquids, beeped the detector arch and got a body scan too. By then, she was caged and in among the hold luggage. I wake up happy.

Little Weed: Shetland Saturday
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013/10/shetland-saturday.html
Wednesday, 16 October 2013. Susan and Pete were here in time for breakfast and we went into Lerwick to see the textiles market in the town hall. I couldn't have a good look, 'cos though Angel was allowed in, she had to be carried but it was really all about knitting and there was a lovely range of wools as well as things that had already been knitted. I liked this roof:. It was odd being amongst people, specially in Tesco. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I wake up happy. View my complete profile.

Little Weed: October 2013
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 October 2013. Shetlands - still here. But I didn't see them - just found them on the website. It was the least friendly shop (the other wool shop was more like a wool shop - it sold loads of acrylic and so Diz could get herself something to knit). But had a fantastic range of Shetland wool. Maybe they weren't so friendly because they were recovering from wool week, when they held classes in the shop every day. Then when I went into Ollaberry shop on Thursday, there it was:. And I'm now full of...

Little Weed: Shetland Monday
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013/10/shetland-monday.html
Tuesday, 8 October 2013. This is a snipe. I had to look it up, Again, its a bit vague cos it was taken through the window this morning. It was hard to tell if it was mist or cloud we were walking through today. We took the track down to Nissetter, you can just see Midfield and Askalong above the 'ter'. There were quite a few abandoned vehicles here too. I suppose that it is difficult to get rid of them without paying for shipping off the island. We spent an hour or so wandering around soggy heather.

Little Weed: Drawing and Painting
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/p/maps.html
I'm doing more painting than drawing these days and so will add to this. I'm redoing the blog so this is in the process of being tidied. Honest. When I started stopping at Mum's every week I got 2hours of soaps to avoid in the kitchen two nights running so I started doing drawings that weren't to be turned into prints. These are the paintings from the same photographs. Mum called this her Venus on a rock bun pose. 65279;. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I wake up happy. View my complete profile.

Little Weed: Shetland holiday - on the railway
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013/10/shetland-holiday-on-railway.html
Sunday, 6 October 2013. Shetland holiday - on the railway. We, that is Angel and me, started out at 5 past 6 on Friday morning. I have never had such an assisted day. From getting off the bus to getting to the hotel in Aberdeen, everytime I paused for breath, somebody helped me. I must have been looking very feeble - I didn't feel it, I felt like Mary Kingsley, setting off on a new expedition. Safely across the Firth of Forth ( channeling the 39 steps) and the furthest north I've ever been:.

Little Weed: Shetland Wednesday
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013/10/shetland-wednesday.html
Wednesday, 9 October 2013. Sheep day and sheepdog day. Angel practising sitting still and not bothering them on the breakfast walk. We saw a man and 3 collie dogs shifting sheep later. And then on the walk met 3 more, or maybe the same, just hanging out. No photo cos I was busy persuading Angel that she could/should just keep walking. The photo of the sheep walking in crocodile. I thought the black ones were collies at first, but they're not. The sheep are taking themselves for a walk. I wake up happy.

Little Weed: April 2013
http://ragwort-littleweed.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 April 2013. Today is all about love. Not cold, not wind, not hail nor frozen fingers. This is Friday when I got my tomato plants ready for the plant sale yesterday. Beeston in Bloom plantsale started with rain and ended with freezing hail, but, as you can see, we did get customers and I sold 30-odd of my tomatoes. So with a bit of luck and better weather the rest will go at the next one in a fortnight. Why is today about love? Johathan, our visiting vicar, said so. Everything in the garden.
