• Eleanor Tomlinson, who is starring as one of the Chattaway Siters, (roles invented by TIm Burton for the film) was looking gorgeous at the London Premiere this week. Why does this concern me? Well, she is the sister of my Godson, Ross Tomlinson, (see this post) who is also an actor to be watched.

    Eleanor, who was such a sweet child, has gone from strength to strength. She was in the Illusionist and Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging. Look out she has a great future ahead of her.


  • The Huge silver birch tree that grows over, and shades, my studio came down today = well, most of it. It started raining at lunchtime, so they’r coming back on Monday to finish the Job.

    Now the sun has come out and with all the branches gone, It is really bright in my studio – or is that because I cleaned the windows yesterday. Either way, it’s very bright in here now and there’s going to be a whole lot of gardening to be re-planned.


  • No, nothing to do with Twitter – I can feel a change in the air. Spring can’t be that far away and my pond was not looking too inviting for the frogs, so I got out in the breeze this afternoon and cleared out the gunk and detritis.. Mmm – lovely.

    I have a feeling the frogs are getting twitterpated themselves and will be along quite soon to lay the frogspawn. It makes me feel quite chirpy!
