Taken at the Dean Gallery in Edinburgh. This statue is by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle and is called 'La Vierge D'Alsace'; click here to read more about it. It stands in the grounds surrounding the gallery, and is, in contrast some of the other statues seen there, quite traditional; I like it very much.
I love candle light, it really makes me feel Christmassy!
Kinky boots on the Christmas tree!
November seems to have flown by, time again for another monthly collage!
Christmas coloured granny squares; I made these not long after I got the crochet bug earlier this year. They ended up in a cushion cover, my first successful crochet project :-)
Rainbow, cheering up a grey day.
I thought an advent calendar of posts would be good; a mixture of favourite older photos and new ones, and some festive thoughts too in the run-up to Christmas.
So I'll start with some sunshine. This is a view across the park near where I live, taken on a winter's afternoon as the sun was setting.
A collection of random links today; things that I've been reading and looking at in spare moments this weekend.
A funny story about how the composer Elgar was not quite the accomplished trombonist he claimed to be!
I want to decorate the living room.......for the first time in my life, I'm going to paint a room all-white, so it's bright and fresh.......with this material for curtains?
I've just taken delivery of these trainers, to compliment my winter fitness regime and get me out of my couch potato state. They are so comfortable!
Something for my Christmas list.........or yours , maybe??!
Looking forward to watching my latest DVD rental, The Duchess. I read the Amanda Foreman biography a couple of years ago, and enjoyed it very much; it will be interesting to see how it translates to film.
If you can't afford those Manolo Blahniks, how about all these shoes instead?
Hope your weekend was fun!
We have been experiencing some turbulence here at the moment; gale force winds and torrential rain. I'm commuting to Edinburgh at the moment and the driving conditions have been horrible, pretty scary. But today, although it's still breezy, for the first time in ages there are blue skies and sunshine
It's such a lift to the spirits.
As is this,
spotted in the garden today. What a treat to find something growing when winter is so close.
A short post today, but I just thought I'd pop in and say hello!
I am Marie, a musician who likes to take photographs and write about what I'm making, reading and enjoying.
