Sunshiney day

What a lovely sunshiney day!!  Makes all the difference after days being fog bound.  This view is a feast for my eyes.  I joined two friends for lunch which was a joy. Such a lot to share and talk about and never enough time. The farewells were bittersweet as my plein aire buddy is moving back to NZ next week with the promise she will be back next september time for a short break.  It really will be sad not having her close but thank heavens for Zoom options and the ability to see each other and keep in touch at least.  
Home to long phone calls and a few more coats on the box project.. should all be finished tomorrow then hopefully positioned outside the door ready for the parcels to arrive before Christmas! (that will come in handy as a blip too at some point!
