Shadow Shot Sunday

We had lunch at this pub yesterday with my Mum, brother and his girlfriend. It is such a sweet higgledy piggledy building with so many roofs. It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday, so perfect for shadows. We went to my brother's house next, to see his progress on the kitchen and his finished workshop. The kitchen is from a friend of his-the units and he has managed to fit them into his space. The worktop is made my him-sandwiching plywood and not plywood(I don't know the name) together in sheets to get that stripey effect.
In the garden the rusty bells jester was smiling in the sun.


In the workshop the half finished hand was casting a more gentle shadow.

Barbecue!


We went to my brother's yesterday for a barbecue, and to look at how he is progressing on his house. He has mainly been clearing the inside, but not a lot else. He has done lots of work outside-clearing and then building a 'shed'-which is bigger than our bedroom! It uses the space well-and is a geat workshop and storage space. There is this lovely view from the front of the building. There were lots of swallows around yesterday. We played scrabble and had delicious food. He cooked the onions on top of the chiminea!

I have been really good today and done most of the work I had to do. I much prefer to get it out of the way now, as my brain takes some time to get back into work mode at the end of the summer, and at the moment it is still in it!
Cassie didn't go to the vets in the end as I forgot about the not eating before an operation rule, so she is re-booked for Thursday!

Angels And Handles

Angels for advent. Handles from Antony's house. On the door of a little building in the garden.
On the door to the lean to at the side of the house. This door is a front door from another house with number 39 on it.
Gorgeous old plastic handles into the front of the house-these are just right for your hand and so warm and smooth feeling-perfect!
