It's snow joke....


 If there's a drift of snow there's usually a snowball to be made. Here's my 'Snow Orb' after @yvonnesturgeon's famous 'Totem Orbs'. 👏

I learned a lot from Yve when our paths crossed a couple of years ago at the super Cygnet 🦢 A very inspirational lady. 😮

Getting out come what may



With a sudden drop in the temperature #HazeltheMallMoll thought it wise that I wrap up warm and see if I can still fit into my thirty inch waist Levi's. And there they are. Success. 👋
All that jogging round the garden and remaining teetotal for twelve years must have helped.
'Course it pays to follow Hazel's advice now we're old. 😜

Hello Grenville


 

Christmas past



Gosh! It was busy, busy busy in those days ~ only six or so years ago. 🔥
There we were: me looking out for custom, Hazel @hazelgrenvilleallen frantically changing a frame over for a customer before she gets back from finishing off her shopping.
Phew, it was fun!👏

SCRAP!



 Now that's more like it! How it should have been if my cloned 'brother' hadn't caused an argument.

All nice and simple.

Like father like son


 Here we are. Like father like twenty-three-year-old son.

Dresses well, doesn't he?! Three-piece suit, bottom button of waistcoat unbuttoned. Nice fashionable beard.
Proud of you, son! 👏😍

my next pic

'View of Melbury Hill' 2 including our archway is potentially a new project. 🎨
The arch will give context to the pic.

Latest declaration




There's a whole lot going on in the super scintillating Cygnet 🦢
Limited edition giclées mounted and framed, original acrylics, miniatures and a whole lot more. 🥰
Better still, this Sunday my ever-perspicacious wife Hazel @hazelgrenvilleallen will be there to meet 'n' greet. Yippee! 👋
She certainly knows what's what. In short Hazel knows everything. Come along and ask away! 😜

Chase me!




 One of my winter solutions....🥰

Not expecting a winter fuel allowance?🔥👏
I too am an OAP and this is my solution.
Keep running round and round. The cry of "Chase me! Chase me!" is optional.🤣

Black and white ~ and colour....




The photo shows us at the Cock Inn. Ide Hill when we lived at nearby 1 in 5 Yorks Hill.
The drawings were done en pleinair at Heaverham when we rented West Lodge on the St Clere estate.
It all seems like a lifetime ago now we're in Dorset and displaying full colour @grenvilleallen pictures in the super Cygnet 🦢 in Shaftesbury near the famous Gold Hill.
But life goes on and we're now living near Zig Zag Hill which is the most circuitous hill in Europe! 😮
I dunno. The ups and downs of our lives across the country. 🥰
