Today I went for a paddle

What a cute little Robin in the birdbath Greyduster.
Are you in the UK Bluebelle? It is very chilly outside.
Seeing as my dog showed off his Christnas photo yesterday, today is the turn to show a painting of my cats sitting by the fireplace. The two black ones either side are brothers.

Yes U.K. ellianne North Sea and it was horrid this morning gale force winds pouring rain and ver cold by this afternoon sun was out and it was a lovely November day The water wasn’t cold it was really good though my feet felt new

Wow! Respect, Bluebelle. I think I’d rather have old feet than stick them in the North Sea at this time of year (bad enough in the summer!)?
GQ I didn’t get balloons on my birthday - I feel cheated!

You’re a brave soul Bluebelle, my last paddle was in June. Thanks for the photos everyone, smiling looking at them. Didn’t think you’d want to see today’s torrential rain pouring over the gutters .

Today I went for a paddle

I have foot Bluebelle

Did you paint the cat pic Elliane ? Am very impressed.?

My nephew's partner made this cake for his birthday recently.

Its looks so realistic!!! ?

Yes, she even embossed the 'paper'!

I am impressed. Many, many years ago, cake decorating was my hobby. However, it was more rosettes and scrolls. So dated!!

These two live with my DH in France and are very different characters, despite being siblings. On the left is Lola, still a skittish airhead despite being 15! Her brother is Cooper who is a very loving boy and likes to lie on my chest and look into my eyes when I speak to him. If I stop, his paw gently touches my mouth as if to say, “Please go on!”
Their names are connected with motor racing (although Cooper is the colour of marmalade!) as it's one of DH's passions and they live near Le Mans.

When I saw the photo Mellow I thought I wonder what’s that about, never thought it could be a cake. It’s brilliant.

Ellianne you cats by the fire painting is wonderful - I would get the design printed on my Christmas cards. ?
MellowYellow what a fun (and very clever) cake. Is it embossed with the puppy - or the koala? ?

Bluebelle you are brave! I watched Countryfile last night and Ellie Harrison was swimming down the middle of a British river with bare feet. It is a passion I couldn’t share as my feet will be in Icelandic wool slippers until Spring, but fair play to you ?

Cooper and Lola are my passion Ashcombe. Thank you for sharing this beautiful pair with us. Love cats.

My cake efforts were mainly for our DD’s birthdays Marydoll and so it would be a mermaid, Mickey Mouse, or a My Little Pony. Not perfect by far, but DD’s were always happy with them as they got to choose.

Cooper and Lola match the furniture Ashcombe. They look good for 15 years old.
Love the loo roll 2020 cake. In years to come Mellowyellow your nephew will look back and laugh!
Yes, the cat painting was knocked up by a friend one evening as we sipped the wine on the fireplace. Puzzler you're psychic, yes we did use it as a Christmas card while we were living in that house.

Another of our Christnas cards was this photo.

Fir some reason it will not let me post a photo on here anyone else having trouble or is it me

I should add today I posted fine yesterday

Sorry it’s cleared gremlins on the line
I m a Pisces and always feel ‘right’ when I m by the sea
I m lucky that I live within a whistle of the beach
Hope you like this Good morning to you

BlueBelle I have the same problem with photos. Bringing it to the attention of HQ elicited the response that it could be due to my slow broadband but it isn’t. It is disconcerting but the photos do appear about five minutes after the text of your post.

I sometimes have the same problem with photos, Ashcombe. I just refresh and try again.
What I have noticed is that it only happens on my tablet, but not on my PC.

Only just caught up with this thread.
Here is a shot I took in the garden earlier in the year.
