Merry Christmas to one and all
Again I have been absent from Pbase
We had two viruses in the summertime
.
Just as I was feeling creative again Peter was told by a local ranger that he had trapped and killed three of the foxes
Apparently a cold hearted cruel neighbor had pestered this ranger so he did this awful deed just because they where walking in his garden and making noises in the forest
we knew them well as they were members of the family that had visited us in our garden
.
So had no feelings to do photography and artwork until two weeks ago
Happy to disappear into my creativity again and hope to catch up with all of you
.
Had really sad news two weeks ago
Julie, Ken Chambers daughter sent me a message to say he had passed
Ken was a wonderful Pbase friend,photographer and artist and I know many of you knew him
.May he rest peacefully
.
Featuring Charlie and Jack in my Christmas Card
Cant believe they are now 11 years old
I put them into A Daily Texture Memory scapes Winter background
the Santa hat from Daily Texture too
The tree decorations from Corel Paint shop pro using the picture tube
created the gifts in the WOMBO app then added snow from Daily Texture
Enjoy the festive season
.Thank you all so much for all your lovely comments you made in my absence
x ☃️❄️☃️
Wishing you all the best for a Happy and Healthy 2023
The years just seem to fly by now as the vintage years take hold
I try to make the most of every day and have many plans of things to do
.
Used to wiz through the house work and do many arty things but either the days are getting shorter or I have slowed down
.probably the latter
.
I am thankful for each new year,my family and friends wether here,abroad or online
always some like minded soul to have a chat to
.
Hoping for a turnaround in World happenings too
That more people care for the wildlife,insects and birds
especially in my neighborhood
.
Hoping the very best that life can offer for you all
Merry Christmas….
Hope you are all well and happy…
Enjoying the festive season too…

All put together in Topax fx labs…..

A quiet New Years evening for us....but in the neighborhood they were having parties and just living like the pandemic doesnt exist....Apparently the buses were crowded and they actually showed the crowds of people in Stockholm on the news...We now have the new strain of virus here too....Hopefully Vacinations for us golden oldies will begin in mid February ....So will stay put and enjoy life as it is at the moment...
Take care and stay safe everyone...
Thank you so much for your visits and kind words....x 🥰

Charlie and Jack featuring in another Christmas card....
Hope you have all had a most enjoyable day...
Had a surprise snow fall overnight almost 4 inches and it snowed most of the day too...
Charlie and Jack were really happy and ate as much as they could when they saw it....
Two of my stepdaughters came this morning with their families they wanted to bring me some flowers...
Although it was snowing we had all dressed warm and spent a fun
filled two hours in the garden....social distancing....we played with the kids and the 3 dogs...
had warm drinks and a snack then went for a walk down by the water...
We all agreed it was great to get together...even in the snowy and quite chilly morning...
Celebrations with all the family will happen in late Spring when we can eat outside....
Enjoy the rest of the holidays....Stay safe and healthy....x 🥰
Merry Christmas ....
Merry Christmas everyone with lots of love and best wishes
from Patricia,Peter and my happy models Charlie and Jack....
Although it will be a very quiet one we must make the best of it...
Good food,good music and hopefully some good programs on the tele...
Catching up with friends far and near and online friends too...
Hopefully some artwork and dare I say should we possibly have some sunshine... a walk with
Charlie,Jack and my camera....It has done nothing but rain for weeks...not a snow fake has fallen either...
Stay safe,take care and be healthy....
As always thank you so much for your visits,kind words and votes....xxx 🥰
When I was a mod....
Something to make you smile...
I joined a Facebook group yesterday that is all to do with the Mecca dancehall in Leeds where my youth was misspent..such fun to meet up with old friends who are scattered all over the world...of course some still live in Leeds and surrounding area...looking into my archive of old photos I found this one from when I was 18 and thought I would share with you...Have to post an old one as maybe no one would recognize me...
Happy holidays....
Wishing you all the very best for the season...
Thank you all so much for your visits and kind words...
Sadly no white Christmas for us...just the usual rain...
Take care if you are traveling...
Hugs from Patrica,Peter,Charlie and Jack xxx

Hope you are all enjoying today...
Charlie and Jack....
Greetings to you all...
So looking forward to 2016...
Hasn't been a good year health wise for me after three viruses
the last one lasted 16 weeks and in the end I had bronchal pneumonia...
Happy to say at the end of November I began to feel better...
I am hoping my creativity returns as I missed you all but just hadn't got
the feeling for anything except being well...
All good wishes I send to each and everyone...
27-Dec-2014
I wish you all health and happiness....
Hope everyone is having a great time...
My absence has been too long...Earlier in the year my eyesight deteriorated so much I couldnt
see through the viewfinder on my camera...Late July I had a cataract removed from my right eye
and laser treatment on my left eye...Wonderful to see details again...
Sadly Peters mother was diagnosed with cancer,had an operation and has just had her second chemotherapy session...
So all thoughts of creativity left me but I must get back into it as I miss you all...
Charlie and Jack are fine,two years old now and loving the snow we have had for the past week...
Take care and thank you for all your kind words...

Spring is here...
At last beautiful sunny days with a little warmth in the sun....
Charlie and Jack are ready for a swim....
Jack recovered well from his surgery and didn't have to wear the collar as he never licked the wound...
Charlie has to take it easy just now as he has hurt his back leg...Not badly but after chasing around down by the water on Monday he limped a little...The vet says to keep him calm and he is not to run around...It's difficult as he is a very active dog...
Painting is finished in all the bedrooms and hall...Now it's time to find new light fittings and so far it's not easy...unless you have an endless amount of cash to spend...Guess it will take time to replace everything but fun to do...
Hope the sun shines for you all this weekend..
Thank you for your visits and kind words...
Jack...
Jack had his castration operation on Tuesday 25th February....
It was so sad to leave him at the vets and Charlie missed him the whole time...
We had a phone call just after one o'clock to say all went well and he could come home...
Peter brought him and he was still dazed from the anesthetic so he slept for a few hours...
He was quite lively when I took his photo early evening but really didn't like this collar he would have to wear if he started licking the wound....
Two days on and it's hard to keep him quiet...
He is back to his lively self and doesn't understand when I keep trying to calm him down...
We go back to the vets in 12 days to check all is well....
So happy it's over as it was quite nerve wracking ...
Thank you all for your visits and kind words...
Happy Valentines Day...
Hope each and everyone has a wonderful day...
Enjoy the weekend too...
Thank you all so much for your visits and kind words...

Charlie and Jack...
We have had Carlie and Jack one year today...
Time has flown and they have grown up into two handsome boys...
Loving,energetic and always looking for mischief...
In this photo we have just returned from playing down by the water...
And there is just a small pile of ice left in the garden their expression
tells you they are waiting for me to put the camera down and throw ice lumps for them to catch....
It will be at least another half an hour before we go indoors....lol
Thank you all for your visits and kind words...

Happy Easter....

That the sun will shine for us all...
And we will feel refreshed and relaxed...
Thank you all so much for your visits and kind words....
Happy holidays to one and all....
I was hoping it would be an image of our little pup Charlie...
Sadly he wasnt well when we should have picked him up on the 21st...
He has a cold and sore throat and also slipped in the snow when playing and hurt his leg...
Nothing broken the vet said it was bruised and he has to take some meds...
We went to see him on the 21st and he was a lot better than the day before...
If we can dig our way out we will visit him today on our way to dinner ant Peters sisters...
From late November to today its just been a chain event of disasters...
Happy to say none life threatening...
Nothing will dampen my Christmas spirit though and I look forward to the girls coming tomorrow...
Enjoy your holiday.thank you all for your visits and kind words...
Will catch up soon...hopefully...
