Wild Horses.....and the odd Owl..

Who would have thought such a neat and tidy person, with so organised a mind, could have a work bench like this?!

Exactly four weeks to the day from the eye op, she's back at it....  Owls, that is..

The first stage of the latest creation starts to take shape - and gains an eye (topical!)

I could try tying her to the chair but wild horses wouldn't stop her making a mess..er, I mean, making things.

At least this time she's wearing eye goggles and a mask, though when I looked, the mask was conspicuous by its absence....

Artists, eh? Don't you just love 'em!?

A load of Hot Air!

Having seen this hot air balloon on our way back from our walk through the Foret de Tours=Preuilly on Friday.....

it came as quite a coincidence that we received a phone call last night to see if we wanted to go this morning, on  the balloon flight we've had booked since August!

We had to be at the church square at 7:15, so all togged up, we walked down and met up with the crew and fellow passengers.

Sadly though, the weather was like this...

Anne sent up a small balloon to test for wind and visibility, but it was not good.....

Rather than wait on the field for an hour or so, we invited the group back to ours for coffee and settled down to wait for an improvement of conditions. An hour later it was no better, so for today, the flight was cancelled so our fellow ballooners made their way home.!

So what else was there to do but make a friend for the first 3D owl...

And we've still got the hot air balloon ride to come!
