Here is one of my sketches....I really had fun doing it. 'Called lady in a hat'
It isn't a work of art or anything, but I think the 'fun' factor in doing something like this is just as important as the content.

In the garden things are a moving along now thats its ideal planting weather. This went in on the weekend (last) and so far shows no signs of replanting trauma! Fingers crossed!
Up close - I love the colour of this climber - I think its called 'Crimson Fantasy' its gorgeous! Hope it grows.
I also bought a pumpkin carving tool set in the UK, keen as they are on celebrating that day the shops stock all the right tools of the trade as it were. I usually buy a pumpkin here to carve, but looking at the pumpkins in the UK last year, I was amazed to find found that they differ HUGELY to the ones we have here. The ones here have skins so hard, that DH struggles to put a hole in in order to start carving out shapes, like the eyes and mouth. The ouside skin is also not a smooth surface,but an undulating hard peel. The pumpkins there are orange and the outside skin is very thin, making it a cinch to carve. I think that this is also the variety they use in the USA.
No wonder Halloween never caught on here. Too much like hard work!
Took this photo on my last visit to the recycling plant.I love the order in this picture, it appeals to my sense of organising. I like the way the bands of colour have a pattern too. Almost like a work of art? well....almost!
