Making Art

Making art is about finding the true self - not who everyone has told you that you are, but the person you are truly

My Threes and fives journal



I don't know if you remember back in November I covered a large A4 diary, well I had a great idea for using it. Laying in my lovely warm bubble bath the other night, (after hearing about a colleague's boiler break down) I felt incredibly grateful for the warm water, warm towels etc, so I decided I would start a diary called threes and fives. Now that sounds a strange name for a diary but bear with me.

I was listening to a programme on the radio, about how time seems to speed up as we get older. When we are children a year seemed such a long time, but when we are adults it just spins by. The presenter said it was all down to new experiences.

New Experiences are the markers in which our brains mark the passing of time, so as a child has lots of new experiences every day, time seems to be made up of lots of markers. Of course when you are an adult the new experiences reduce, hence fewer markers through out our year and therefore it seems to just vanish.


So what is on my list today?

Three things:

Having the time to walk in the snow

Clive's kindness in making sure I am ok, waiting for me at styles to ensure I get over without slipping, walking with me not in front of me.

a lovely cup of hot chocolate and home made shortbread at the end of the walk




My one of five!

We walked a whole new footpath today, and found this lovely house. (I must have walked past it at least fifty times and never noticed it before. It is delightful.


Enjoy the snow!
