Goodbye 2016.
You were a ride!
We moved house – not just across town but across the state.

| Sun set |
Our house is up high and we have the most entrancing views across the town of bush covered hills and an ever changing ‘cloudscape’. Some days it is difficult to actually move from the table – weather watching can be so absorbing.
We made some new friends and managed to stay in touch with old ones: and have even reconnected with people we haven’t seen for 10 years plus!
I have a new and, even better, established garden which I love. And a dedicated space in which I can make. But old habits die hard and there is a definite ebb and flow of all sorts of materials from my studio.
I have managed to keep making art – though that has been a bit sporadic of late.
And most wonderful of all my partner has a new kidney … thanks to his donor brother. They both came out of hospital on Christmas eve and both are doing well J. We are in Melbourne till the end of January and then home. (So miss my bed – it will be about seven weeks away by the time we get there).
With a gift of a kidney comes a new freedom and we are no longer tied to a machine. We will be able to take more than a night away and we plan to explore the country about us – free range road trips. Expect to see some photos posted during the year of the world about me.
And I will keep making. For Christmas I got a book on Scottish Folk tales. Look out for more fey folk inspired by tales of brownies, bogles and selkies.
