Past Times

Meanwhile on Instagram...

Beautiful spring day at Stourhead today, thank goodness the chilly wind confined itself to the car park at the top and we were able to enjoy our walk around the lake in relative comfort. Lovely to see old haunts like the Palladian bridge where I once sang at the Festival of the Voice, then discover new to me places like the Temple of Apollo. #gardensofinstagram #nationaltrust #weekendwalk #botanicalpickmeup #stourhead #timeforwiltshire #myhappymoments #vegplottingblog #vegplotting #gdnbloggers #springishere #igerswiltshire

I love this noticeboard spotted behind the scenes when I went for my volunteer induction at #westonbirtarboretum today. I'm itching to get started and find them. Here's to the next 100 years of Forestry England (formerly the Forestry Commission) #notestagram #notice #sneakpeek #behindthescenes #treesofthefuture #myhappyplace #volunteering #makeadifference #givesomethingback #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #igersgloucestershire #forestry100 #notethenamechange #treeteam

I call this "self portrait with navigation marker", though some of my friends think it looks more like a standard lamp. A few days after I returned from Fishguard I finally learned what these mysterious red or green objects are actually for. They've always been there and at the edge of my consciousness, but actually useful? I was blissfully unaware. #shadowselfie #navigatoroftheseas #weekendwalk #beachside #Fishguard #learnsomethingnew #discoverwales #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

This upward view of a tall magnolia reminds me of far eastern paintings on china plates. It's probably the last week to see the magnolias in their glory, but there's fresh fuzzy growth and plenty of other colour waiting to be discovered at Westonbirt. I'm looking forward to returning as a volunteer. #botanicalpickmeup #treesofinstagram #igersgloucestershire #westonbirtarboretum #magnolia #simplethingsmakemehappy #tree_brilliance #treephotography #greatwestway #gloucestershire #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #gdnbloggers #springflowers #springwalks #flowerstagram

I loved the discovery of bright orange benches in London today. Designed by artist Jeppe Hein and inspired by New York's public benches, they're witty, inviting and question our thoughts on what benches are and do. I hope to revisit Southbank later this year to explore them further. #southbank #jeppehein #bench #benchart #igerslondon #feelgoodmoments #myhappymoments #modifiedsocialbenches #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #streets_storytelling #streetsoflondon #Thames #sculpture #publicart

Our holiday was cake heaven, especially in #vienna. Here's the selection at Cafe Landtmann, a traditional coffee house that's served kaffee und kuchen since 1873. We enjoyed the three they selected for our lunchtime dessert course 😊 🎂 #travelstory #travelblogger #travelisfun #austria_memories #cafelandtmann #igersaustria #igersvienna #ahvienna #cakesofinstagram #cakestyle #cakestegram #cakelovers #myhappymoments #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #kaffeeundkuchen #kaffeehaus

Gorgeous flower shop display for Easter near St Stephens Cathedral including these wreaths plus tiny little posies of pussy willow wrapped in evergreenery. #ahvienna #igersvienna #instablumen #instaflowers #igerstravel #springisnear #myhappymoments #botanicalpickmeup #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

A studio of delights. Yesterday's #monoprint workshop with @kathyhuttonprints was lots of fun. There's inspiration on all the walls and our work table complete with eclectic vases with plenty of botanical material to work from was a total delight. We tried different ways of printing from our drawings, plus Gelli colour printing. I was reminded of my early experiments with photography and these are techniques I want to explore further 😊 #botanicalpickmeup #artworkshop #timeformyself #saturdaystyle #artofinstagram #botanicalprints #ghostprint #myhappymoments #signsofspring #artstagram #artstudios #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #nofilter #gelliprint

I rarely pose for others never mind a selfie but I wanted to capture this moment. Happy to be me ☺ #livethemoment #happytime #therealme #myhappymoments #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #homelife #happytobeme
