Yesterday was back to normal but as Mark zoomed off to a photoshoot, it was so cold that the van re-froze a mile away from home. He stopped to de-ice the windscreen again, and the central locking activated while he was outside the van with the engine running. We had to wait five hours for the RAC to come out (the engine was still running when they arrived, fortunately). So I had a shorter-than-planned stint at the studio and painted these trees. It isn’t finished but I’m quite pleased with how it’s going.
Deer Spotting!
Hunting for trees (and deer) at Calke Abbey
Attempting to beat the blues I took a day off this week and we went to explore Calke Abbey, a location that I haven’t been to for ages. It was a frosty, bright sunny day and the place was like a kind of paradise in that light. We found ancient trees and young deer including two stags. It was a lovely day full of nice memories.
