Review of the year - 2020

 January 2020

Well this year has been, well, weird!!!  It started off nicely enough with a trip up to London to see an expedition!

You can read all about that HERE

February

February we didn't do much because we had a bunch of storms blow in every weekend, so we just stayed home and painted.  

You can see the stages of this one HERE

March

We had a trip up to London at the beginning of March to see Kew Gardens and Hampton Court Palace!    

 You can read about it here DAY ONE

 And here DAY TWO

And here DAY THREE

With bonus pictures of Kew here and Hampton Court here

Then at the end of March, the Covid 19 plague hit and we all went into Lock Down.  That meant we're not allowed to travel anywhere and we can't have days out.

April

We had the very first ever Inaugural cyber art expedition!!!

Beanie's entry and links to the other entries are HERE

May

In May we had some VE commemoration "events" (very small and localised, socially distancing etc) and we left some poppy windchimes out!

June

In June we did some dyeing experiments with red onion skins!  That was so much fun!
You can see more pictures HERE

July

In July we went out for a walk leaving some of our decorations and bookcrossing books for people to find!  We like doing that!

You can see that HERE

August

We made a new linoprint in August!!!  It's Thor's hammer with some celtic knotwork in it!

September

In September we got a bit bored so we went over to the little arcade place over the road and won some prizes!!!

October

In October, we had a little adventure!!!  We went to A Lotment!!!  It was really exciting!

You can read about it HERE

Later on at the end of October, we had some awful news that our friend George in Budapest had died from Covid.  We visited him and his wife Amarillis back in 2015 and they're lovely people. 

We're really sad for Amarillis and we're going to miss George heaps.

November

We didn't do much in November - but we did get a prize for Jerry and Ben's Jack O'Lantern contest!

Apparently we make really scary ones.....

December

In December, we spent most of the month stuffing our faces with chocolate.  We didn't really do anything apart from visit Andrea's parents on Christmas Day which you can read HERE

Other than the toilet breaking on 23rd December (chap came round to fix a leak from our toilet, but now the flush is broken!!!) which still hasn't been mended (at time of writing!!!) it's been a quiet month.

Heck it's been a quiet year.  Hope your year has been reasonable...... we don't want any more of our friends dying.  So keep safe and well and hopefully see you at some point in the not too distant future.
