Love your painting PurplePixie - I think it must be really soothing to be able to paint x

Omg! Ice cream and a macaron. Bliss. ?
I made fish cakes - salmon and prawn - chopped Spring onion and coriander, squeeze of lime juice. Fond of homemade fish cakes.

If you want to know what an £8.40 ice cream cornet looks like this is it! However it was during Eat Out to Help Out so a mere £4.20.

I must say it was a work of art - all those layers are ice cream, topped off with a macaron. DGS(14) polished it off no problem.

Too many beauties to admire individually but wanted to say I’m really enjoying them all without exception.

Spangler We had a wonderful holiday in the New Forest several years ago, but I missed Holmsley. Looks lovely, thanks, and my husband is interested in old railways, so it will be on our list, when and if we ever get there again.

My lovely savoury tea at my favourite cafe, the other day. Love the little pansy decoration.

What a delightful cream tea. If you ever tour The New Forest, make your way to Holmsley. The former railway station has been turned into Holmsley Tea Rooms. What a treat it is too, lots of railway memorabilia, a beautiful setting and delicious meals. They have even got an alcohol licence so a glass of chilled white can accompany your meal, as long as you are not driving.

Beautiful photos - thank you to you all. Fabulous.

The flowers on my painting are foxgloves and thank you for all of your kind words. I’ve painted some cat faces which I will post later.

On guard .... and I'm not joking!

Ooh, lovely picture MiniMoon.
(My boots are from M and S though think they are being superseded by a rather different style, still nice but £26 dearer. Another reason I was chuffed to bits to get them).
Following on from the lovely feline pictures was poised to take one of Tony, one of our “loft” cats looking really comfy on the sofa cushion. Almost in the bag then DH said ‘get closer’ which prompted Tony to leg it. Next time).

Beautiful photo’s on here today posters - cats (I love to see everyone’s), rainbows and sunsets. So uplifting on a grey day.
Thanks for cheering me up.

Here is the rainbow, taken in July. That about sums up our summer!

A recent sunset taken looking up the hill from my garden gate. I tried to post a rainbow, but it seems the tablet only wants to do one at a time.

Mother Cat looks a formidable lady!

Aah kitty! I love it when they tuck their front legs underneath.
My present cat doesn't do it - I think that her legs are too long. They are always dangling down. She is quite lanky for a cat!

Her mum and our Kiwi!

Our littlest cat!! She's homegrown!

Where are your boots from Alima?
They look really good quality.

Gorgeous boots Alima.

As someone who lives in a rather flat Suffolk, I love to see your photos of the Peak District etc.

A very enjoyable and novel idea for a thread.

I’d be very happy to wear those, Alima!

Fab boots Alima

They are lovely! Shiny like conkers!
I like the side zip too (I'd be changing the laces though, I think that they detract from the boots iyswim).

Sorry if this appears far too materialistic but here’s a picture of my new boots. I am so excited, they only arrived yesterday and smell divine. Will go for walk later to start wearing them in, ages since I have had (or needed) anything new!

I've never been to the Peak District, but that landscape looks very peaceful Greyduster.

Oh, Ellianne what a beautiful photo of your dog! Thank you for posting it!! x

The pot of gold didn’t seem to be that far away, Mellow - just down the road! I wondered if someone was getting excited!?
