Good Morning Arm-Wap and fellow ORCs lovely day yesterday. Prep for tomorrow’s print workshop almost finished. Nice meal out with OH last night. Have a good day everyone

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

I too wish I’d engaged with T’ai chi years ago. I’ve always been entranced by the moves. I’d found the perfect class but the teacher died and I never found another that suited me

I hope so

Hopefully recovery is progressing, Eleanor

🫂 to you M’Lady

Thank you!

That censorious look! ♥️

I shall try to make time today to complain. Thanks for drawing attention to this and posting link

Many happy returns to her, Didi.

Ho hum // threads today. Good Morning Ben and ORClanders. I’m still abed and in no hurry to get up. My day will hopefully spent reading and drawing

Oh no! 🤞 for Smudge’s safe return

Me also!

Good Morning Clare and ORClanders. Today’s priority is preparing for Thursday in the print workshop. For the next 3 weeks we are working on etchings. Have a good day everyone

I’ve not seen it but will look it out. OH is keen to do coast to coast. Thanks for suggestion

I really like the idea of a six - hour - lunch

Hope you are feeling better soon, Eleanor

Looks fab! Well done!

I’ve had a fab weekend in Swaledale. Great gig, nice walks, Sunday lunch out. Lots of sunshine. Just what we both needed!

So desperately sad for you both. Thank goodness for the piano

Good morning Clare and ORCs. It’s a little overcast here at present with rain forecast for later. We might get out for a short walk this morning, but will hunker down this afternoon. Have a good day everyone

A windy day

The iconic Swaledale landscape with its pattern of dry stone walls and barns. A small copse largely hides the river , which is just visible in the lower left of picture. The upper half of the photo shows blue skies with a few small clouds

Good Morning MDW and SORCs. Many Happy Returns ✨MDW✨ 🎂. Great gig in Reeth last night - the Haar - which capped of a lovely day in Swaledale, which included, much to the Riverman’s delight a walk along the river’s upper reaches

Thank you Susan

A tree in Swaledale, as yet leafless, but just coming in to bud, silhouetted in front of a cloud that anticipates the tree’s future canopy. The evening sun, hidden by the cloud creates an ethereal glow that emphasises the majesty of the tree in its landscape

Imagining a future: a sky clad tree clothed by the clouds
