Welcome Velour

It's been quite some time since I welcomed a rabbit to my bunny community. After calisi virus took its toll on my two girls - Martha and Moo it was time to bunker down and spend some time in quarantine mode. Velour has been adopted at 15 weeks of age and is a female (I am told-but it wouldn't be the first time the facts have been distorted). I am told she has some cashmere in the mix.

It's A Square Weld After All

              

Years of collecting off cuts and miscellaneous items of metal by Rod has now resulted in our first sculpture.

I've got it covered

The new addition to the Iceberg Rose arch has settled in well despite only one of the two transplanted roses surviving the shift. The coverage is sufficient and the desired tunnel effect has been achieved.

A sign of busyness

An absence of posts should now be rectified as I have now submitted my photo book - Ashwell 30 Years in the Making. 13 months ago I ordered the voucher which gave me 12 months to compile and upload my story into a photo book. I procrastinated for many months then panicked before paying for a one month extension and then I knuckled down to scanning, cropping, colour enhancing, choosing, creating text and finally with 4 days 'till expiry I submitted the project for printing. Now I wait.
