weekend at nana s

the boys and I had a lovely weekend with nana and nena ( as the younger one calls them ) - they have come back all sun-kissed and rosy cheeked .
It was worth the planning and the double-checking and packing that went into it. It was also worth all the 1 million things that i had to remember and carry for the younger one!

pix to come ......

waiting for her










I really enjoy this painting by my friend , a new painter .
There is a certain purity of expression here - a nuance which one doesnt expect to be caught in an oil painting that he has successfully managed. I can see a certain wistfulness in the chap's face as he holds the rose that has fallen from the beloved's hair and is trying to imagine the wonderful aroma of her hair .... and wondering when they would meet again..
It harks back to the romance of a bygone era - when romance was rich and deep.
