This morning is all wet, damp and a tad miserable so I need cheering up a little, then I thought, how about my blog; so here goes.

 Had another nice bit of cheery news the other day; a member of one of my groups has done exceptionally well in an international cinematic art competition; he didn't win; but he was one of a few highly commended entries, so well done and my oh my, that is encouraging.

Also Epsom mental health week is just around the corner, so being their artist,  life is getting busy from that quarter as well. Believe it or not, much of my Epsom related thinking at the moment is about macaws, the parrot type! All very strange, light hearted, and fun oriented, but also rather challenging and hard work.

The above image is of a lane in Somerset which is near to Shepton Mallet; when I was down there a few weeks ago the weather was  little better than it is here today.
