Anna Nielsen - New Beginnings

I went to visit my friend a few weeks ago for the first time since we've moved, and she bought us a beautiful house warming gift. It is a limited edition print by an artist based in Ireland, Anna Nielsen. She is known for her distinctive black and white, pen and ink drawings which are normally accompanied by a short story written below. 

The print my friend got us is 'New Beginnings'

Never having to leave after saying “Goodnight”   

“I’ll see you tomorrow” means waking up and you will be there 

Someone to be with - forever - together!

AWOL

A severely squashed finger from a DIY accident, work stress, illness and a couple of weekends away have resulted in not much DIY going on at home. 

I wouldnt recommend squashing the index finger on your dominant hand between two planks of wood. It'll hurt like hell and stop working for weeks. More than four weeks after the accident I still dont have full feeling or movement but we're going to crack on with painting this weekend as we cant stand not having a kitchen any more. 

I also took a lovely trip to Windsor with my family for a weekend

And a trip to Kerry to visit my friend
