Friday 24 July:


Rosa is Eleven!!
Usual dawn harbourside walk… cloudy, overcast start to the morning but quite a dramatic sky as I watched the emerging sun at the marina… an hour later, it started to drizzle (briefly).
Read briefly before Moira and I had coffee inside.
Sketched some harbourside boats – from one of my photographs (don’t enjoy working from photographs, but I’m still not feeling particularly confident about people keeping their distance) – and listened to music.
Went round to Ruth+Stu’s to help celebrate Rosa’s birthday over burger+chips+drinks in the garden (before moving into the house when it started to rain!)… R+S had bought her a new ukulele and we’d bought her a new dress (+some books)… and Iris had made the most wonderful, delicious chocolate ukulele birthday cake! It was a really lovely time and we felt very fortunate that Rosa had decided (given the lockdown circumstances) that she wanted to celebrate her birthday with grandparents (Wells in the morning; Bristol in the afternoon).
