Had another jaunt with the Wapping Group this year. Great fun, great company but the weather was not with us. There were some really good results painting-wise but unless you had a clip-on umbrella (makes mental note to get one) or had found somewhere under cover with a suitable view point life wasnt easy! My shoes took days to dry out so open toe sandals were the only other optionand they stayed wet too! Ugh. The trip came at a difficult time of year for us as all our old roses were just coming into bloom and of course the weather was foul whilst we were away too so we came back to drooping roses, some nearly over and we said we must remember next year not to go away at this time. As it is we have lost all our apricots and peaches thanks to the ridiculous weather and to be away when the old roses are out too is madness, one has a year long wait and it's a shame to miss them. Taking shelterAn overhang provided a good dry spot..so long as you wanted to paint the hotel! |
