A typical Sunday evening in the Bardsley household

Barney is cooking and has a glass of cider in attendance. Occasionally he says things like "Ok,that's cool" and " how much rosemary!!???" and "where's the fennel seed these days?". He is wearing a black and white checked chef's apron.
I am checking through today's batch of photos. (large glass of red wine...today's is Clos de Siete if you're interested...delish and a gift from Youngest) and offering information on the whereabouts of ingredients as required.
In between the meat and the potatoes, Barney comes in to the dining/computer/stamp/card making room, pushing a hoover. After a minute, I offer to take over this task as after all he is seeing to our most pressing needs. Willingly he accepts and vanishes back to the kitchen. Davy Graham is briefly shut out of the dining room while I hoover. As I am not wearing glasses and can't see what I'm missing, the hoovering only takes a few seconds then I can have Davy Graham back and also the dog can stop leaping out of the way of the hoover. Well into its way mostly as he is quite incapable of predicting where it will go next. One of these days I will hoover him up. That'll confuse him.
So that was Sunday.
then on Monday, I was good for quite a long time and sorted out pictures for Newbury cards to take to the Art Shop where the nice man (bless him) said yes he'd display some cards to sell for me. Later I made them all pretty and soon I will sort out the printing packages.


But I did take some pictures on Sunday, in Froud's Lane. Such an irresistible name and before I knew where I was I'd started playing with this. Quite nice but rather a dull sky So I added a sky from another picture
Which was fun and then I tried to add some gradient and inadvertently threw a bucket of black all over it
This was so amazing I had to see what happened if I inverted it
And added a curves layer
And now I can't decide which one is the most fun.

I recommend Froud's Lane.
