Shadow Shot Sunday and Green Tomatoes (sadly not fried)
This week's shadow shots are of my poor tomatoes, resting on my newly refurbished stepladder. I rubbed it down, put blobs of a lovely turquoise in certain spots, then a coat of off white. Rubbed it down again to give it a battered look and then used beeswax over this. If nothing else it now smells very nice!My tomatoes are from plants bought at the local allotment open day, planted very late and mainly no good due to some kind of blight. I really am a very poor gardener. I like their interesting knobbly shapes though, so thought I would preserve them through photography.
The other photo, and poladroid of it, are of a group of things hanging in the kitchen. The moon and star is a present from a lovely friend, the mirror is from the charity shop, and the rusty metal grid is a piece of fence from school. When I did my termly risk assessment review for Forest School I noticed this hanging off the fence at reachable by small child height, so I wiggled it a bit and it came off. I know some people would have put it in the bin, but I also know that some wouldn't! Rust lovers of the world unite!

Simple Things
I have enjoyed considering some of the simple things that make me happy. I have picked a few to share.
Writing-the physical act of writing rather than composing what I write. I find it soothing. I also love to doodle and do lots of repetitive patterns, which have the same effect on me.
Toast-long time friend and easy delicious meal. I worry when I look at this picture as I seem to have put rather a lot of butter on it. The plate is from New York. I have an Orio cookie one too!
Rust-These are two things from my rusty things collection. I see rust and I feel happy. (Not on my car though-I have just had a large and expensive piece of welding done due to rust! The best thing about it was that Mick the mechanic gave me a piece of the rust to demonstrate how bad it had been! Rust souvenir.)
Stones-in general and this one in particular. My friend Sarah gave me this stone. She had collected it on holiday, carried it home and brought it to me all the way from Holland. It makes me happy because she knew it would-if you see what I mean!
The view from my kitchen sink. I look out on this view when I am washing up. I have lived in places with the view of a wall from the sink, which is not half so much fun.
Rain, the colour yellow and sunflowers. I was greeted by this sunflower on Monday morning when I came to school and started to set up the garden. Beautiful!
