Spring is in the Air - If Nothing Else is...

A beautiful spring day today, with a clear blue sky,
It's great to be able to see it as it was intended,
and not Cris crossed with vapour trails from jet planes.
The Volcanic eruption in Iceland is still effecting the British air space
and so all flights are still grounded.

I took a walk up on the hill last night after I had finished in the workshop.
I love it up here, you can see for miles, and it gives you time to think.
Although my first thought was
" now would be a great time to film a costume drama without
the jet plane vapour trails in the sky".

These little chaps seem to be enjoying the weather.

And to make the day even better Malcolm Shepherd came over today
and delivered some of his fantastic metal work for the showroom.
His work fits in so well with mine.

I just love these hooks.

a selection of other pieces.
It makes the showroom feel more complete and I have had a great reaction
to the work in the first afternoon.

That is a fantastic view!
I know what you mean about the planes... they pass right over my apartment building as they are landing. Sometimes I swear I can see the faces of the people in the windows!
Have a great weekend!
Happy Mudding!

i'm so envious of that view, that's the english hillsides of my imagination, similar to shots that doug posts from time to time. the icelandic eruption is all over the news here, hope you don't have to fly anywhere.

Hearing how the Iceland eruption is affecting Europe, I keep wondering how the sunsets are there?

Thanks Guy's.
I am loving the new space. as for the sun sets theres not been any dramatic change. the best ones were some 4 or 5 years ago now when some kind of sand storm came over the Atlantic, the skys were great but the next morning the car was covered in sand.

You should include a link to that Malcom Shepherd. It would 1) be practical for all of us who enjoyed these pics and want to see more and possibly order and 2) it's common Internet courtesy to link. :)

I agree, the hooks are lovely, and I so want to order that fire wood rack...
