I was wondering if anyone feels they might benefit from being part of an art group specifically for those here. I'm an artist, though I have to admit to you that I've produced absolutely nothing for ages due to being ill and in hospital, not having anywhere to exhibit for aeons and generally being extremely knackered out most of the time. But then I started thinking maybe I could do something positive about it. I've worked within what's called the 'Arts in Health' sphere and done a lot with things like colour therapy. I'd also like to say that you don't have to be rich to make art. I've done a whole exhibition made from recycled materials. It's all about taking yourself to another place for a while and having a bit of messy fun. No judgemental rubbish or anything like that. And if you don't think you're able to draw anything that looks remotely like what it's supposed to look like, well, that doesn't matter either. I think that maybe for starters you might like to message me if you are interested and then I'll try and work out a little programme. Just for us. Let me know what you think. Rainy X
About time for another image. I hope we're managing a bit of a holiday mood around the country? Don't forget to post your pix of beaches and lovely spots you manage to get to. Here is 'Porthkidney beach with passing yacht' by John Miller. Some of you may have bought a card of this. It takes me right back to standing on the same spot. A lovely Cornish memory. Rainie x
I am just popping in very quickly whilst we have an internet connection here in Pembrokeshire. We have visited lots of different beaches and coves this week, which I will share with you. Today’s beach was in Aberporth near Cardigan. I call this one a time to paddle.
They are amazing Tony, most are dog friendly so we were lucky. I’ve not been to this part of the country before, but it did not disappoint. We have had a wonderful week xx
Yes the beaches in Pembrokeshire are marvellous we have had many holidays there with our dogs

Today’s photo I like to call waiting for the tide.
This is a little bay close to where we were staying in Newport Pembrokeshire. It was like a step back in time, with little cottages behind the sea wall. very pretty.
Thanks for the pix. Lovely to see that bright blue and hope you've come home refreshed. Glorious memories. Rainie x
