Thurs 3rd

1. The crows circle the ponies in the field.

1b. Daffodils and forsythia. Violet aubretia and grape hyacinths. Magenta flowers on the heather and primroses in the same colour with yellow centres.

1c. The attentive springer watches the ball as its dad takes to a passing cyclist.

2. John’s giddy excitement on the arrival of a new toy.

3. It might be basic but my lightbox does the trick.

3b. The design is stitched quickly. I like big projects that creep forward to a huge satisfying finish but little ones are fun too.
