It's amazing what a little peace and quiet does for mind, body and soul. Today has been the first day in ages when I really have had nothing to do apart from please myself. 

So, I have been turning my compost heaps 1,2,3. There were plenty of bugs and worms but no robin this time. And my creative juices are beginning to flow again so I've been sampling, working with flowers and leaves to create prints. Quite a few of  my artist friends on facebook do this and I've been thinking to try for quite a while. The results are interesting and I now have a few ideas of how to take my samples further.
