I am having so much fun drawing in this little book of black pages that cost only 1 euro at a boot sale. Although the paper is only intended as a scrapbook it is lovely and smooth and takes the Museum watercolour pencils very well. I have been using them dry as I think the paper may not take wetting too well.
I originally bought it to use the board covers in my bookbinding but soon realised that the paper was worth using too! These pink lilies were given to me as bulbs by a neighbour several years ago. The flowers appear in autumn and the leaves follow a month later. They give a welcome splash of colour when everything else is dying down.
Luba gave me this aubergine just before she returned to Belarus as her 3 month stay was up. She has been trying to get her status regularised as the wife of a Frenchman but it's not been easy dealing with the typical French beaurocracy! I'm glad we are not the only ones that struggle and even nationals don't get an easy ride!
A bunch of roses Bob bought me before I left for the visit to my girls, I think he missed me while I was gone!
