Friday Catch Up 08 12 2023

I don't know if anyone noticed that I hadn't posted for a couple of weeks - I've been away to Asia visiting Thailand [Bangkok], Cambodia and Vietnam. I'm sure I will have more things to show you from there soon. But today I have photos from the newly finished 1950's aged miners cottages at Beamish Museum. I don't seem to have a photo of the outside which I shall rectify next time I go.

I remember when I was young we had three blue birds on the wall.

At the same cottages as above.

This was taken in Bangkok Flower Market, my app says it is called dendrobium.

Friday Face Off

When I first saw this also in Bangkok I thought they were made of polystyrene but it is actually fish food for a festival. I have no art to share this week.

at Beamish Museum

Thursday Doors

St. Helen's Church was relocated from Eston, deconstructed brick by brick then rebuilt in Beamish Museum. Some of the numbers still show on the bricks. The church was almost derelict and was due to be demolished until Beamish saved it. The oldest stones were from the 11th century.

The pews were from somewhere in Somerset. The parishioners paid a fee to use a row of seats and had their names on a plaque on the wall next to the seats..

Monday Window and Pumpkins

Looking through the window at Pockerley Hall, Beamish at the beautiful scenery.

Below was the leaf after painting. There were some light ink lines before I painted but then I put some thicker ones on top before adding the white frost.

Flower Of The Day

My daughter bought us some flowers for our anniversary. The big flowers are a kind of chrysanthemum and are an important flower in Chinese culture. They represent happiness, long-life and joy.
