Interests

Not too many so you won't get eye strain reading this!!

Walking my dogs: I used to like to walk my dogs round the cliffs on Portland.  Especially at Portland Bill on a windy day.  I like to be near, in or on water and most of my favourite places are near the sea. I moved down from S.E. London years ago to Weymouth and then to Portland. Since then I have lived in Netherbury for a year in a converted cowshed. I loved it there right in the middle of no-where. I now live in Dottery in a converted smithy. It's a tied cottage with my job. Eventually I will move back to Portland and be near the cliffs again.

Out and about in my car: Driving around (usually completely lost!)  I used to go to Durdle Dor, Lulworth Cove and Moonfleet .  These places I prefer in the winter without the crowds of holiday makers. I don't visit my favourite places so often now but will again when I get another dog. Strolling around and admiring the scenery just isn't the same without my four footed friends!

Making Outlook Stationery: Not much time to learn properly yet but I will get the hang of it some day! For some reason some of this stationery is not showing properly. I'll 'mend' them as soon as possible.

Blue Eyes Stationery.   This is a photo of a marquetry picture made for me by my pen pal Ken Lidgett in Canada.

Devil Stationery  This is a picture I found on the web.  I'm sure it said it had no copy right restrictions on private use.  If it has let me know, please.

Eclipse Stationery Taken from the cliffs near Portland Bill during the 1999 eclipse.

Lamp Stationery A lamp my daughter bought me for Christmas.  The first and my favourite stationery I made.

My Pumpkin Stationery The first pumpkin head I made.  I've used swedes before and boy, are they hard work to scoop out, they taste better, though!

Two Cats Stationery  Two framed pictures my friend Elle gave me.  I love the the wild cats.

Unicorn Stationery  A framed picture I have.  Altered around the edges quite a bit to make it more interesting.

Twinkie 1 Stationery  Both these Twinkie pictures were photos of my pen pal Ruth's cat in Ohio. 

Twinkie 2 Stationery She's learning Paint Shop Pro and these are two of her first fancy pictures.  She's a clever girl!!

Elvis Stationery This is the only stationery Ruth sent me that she had made all by herself. I wish she would send me some more of her own work! pictures.  She's a clever girl!!
