I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Always did have an active imagination.






An afternoon in the Shedudio.

Europe is talking about opening.  Lifting restrictions, well some.  Here in the UK moves are afoot for doing the same.  This government is concerned at businesses going bust and not weathering the coronavirus storm.

In all my years of blogging I have never had such nasty comments made on my posts.  From people who have no idea about me.  I did consider spelling out just what I have gone through and go through but that would just feed their fire.

So I will carry on regardless.

But they may achieve my not sharing so much on here for a while.

Jill so sorry that some people are so ignorant and judgemental. I’ve been through a lot medically, it’s tough and you are doing an amazing job at keeping keeping on. Don’t let the b******s get you down :)

You may think I am horrible but everything I have said is to keep you safe. You have disregarded everything I have said as you know better this
Is not a childish game. You will die if you get infected.All I want is your safety

But you don't get it.

Sorry to hear you have had some nasty comments when what you need right now is support. It is a hard call for everyone and everyone has their own personal issues to deal with.
Love those birds - glad your creativity is not affected. Distant hugs x

After getting nasty comments on my blog I contemplated giving it up but after giving it some thought I decided to just leave the comments where they were and ignore them.
If you can't say something nice then don't comment, that's my idea.
I find that if I just blog on crochet or cats I'm safe but introduce anything sensible and the trolls move in, they of little brain.
Keep blogging , I for one love your posts.

I resent the fact that stupid, thoughtless people might cause me to see less of one of my favorite blogs. If that happens, the bad guys win!
As to what Athena says, I would think she needs to manage her own life, and let other people manage theirs.
Please keep on posting. For the good guys.

The interior of your Shedudio and the view are gorgeous. My friend's hubby is building her a shed for her creative projects and I told her, it is a Shedudio. I don't know if you coined that word, but I learned it from your blog. Now my friend calls her new spot My Shedudio. I did not know you are getting negative comments; be well my friend.

Hugs. Do what you feel is good for you. I certainly understand your need to be on the Prom and I hope you can get back out there soon. I live in an isolated area and I miss seeing and hearing people about. That is not going on now so I am at home.

Sorry that you are having a problem. Hopefully this virus will be under control and things will get back to a new normal.

God bless.

If the comments are about your going to the prom well I think they are inappropriate. You're going for your health (not just larking around) it eases your breathing and lessens your anxiety, and you, sensibly, are avoiding close contract with any people there (which it sounds as through there aren't many to avoid). Fooey on those ignorant people----they should mind their own business!

Don't stop blogging------so many people would worry about you if you stopped.

Long time reader, first time commenter. I fully appreciate your wanting to go to your Prom, I'm used to going out everyday and it's hard feeling confined. But we have it to do.
I can see the other side of this, my partner is a member of the police force and whether or not he agrees with the things he has to do he has to get on with the job and do it. He doesn't like the fact that his working time is now spent patrolling those areas where people are but shouldn't be, to do this he isn't doing his usual job of investigating crime. So called "minor" cases are being sidelined because the government has said what we should do and there are some people who won't abide by the law. If everyone just got on with doing as they've been told he would be doing his normal job, as it is he's getting increasingly frustrated that time and again there are people out where they shouldn't be.
I think it only right that, even though I'm grumpy and frustrated at not going where I want, when I want, that I abide by the law and sit it out at home. I now have a relative with the virus, he has pneumonia and having a rough time, and I don't want to hear of anyone else in my family suffering. If that means I stay at home for however long I'm told to then that's what I'll do.
I understand you have problems with your health, there has been considerable ill health in my family (one with severe COPD) and I really do understand your need to be in a place where you feel better, physically and mentally. But please do consider the implications of your being out, even if you don't see a soul you have already been told you shouldn't be out there and we all need to do our bit and abide by the law, as unpleasant as it may seem. One person being where they shouldn't might seem ok but one adds up to two then three and so it goes on.
Well for a first time comment I've rambled on rather, but living with my constabulary chappie I see his side of things too. He knows I'm grumpy and frustrated but as he says, the sooner everyone does as they're told the sooner the restrictions will be lifted.
Keep well Jill, take comfort in having your loving husband and people who love you, your shedudio, your garden, cat and wildlife that surrounds you. I hope you're not offended at this comment, it really is written with concern and best wishes. And do keep blogging, you enjoy it and we enjoy reading it. Julie B.

Jill, I have been a reader of your blog for some years now, though I seldom comment. You are a favorite and I hope you can pre-approve the comments and delete the negative ones right out of your mind! You are special and courageous!💖

Take care sweet lady. It was a joy to admire your shedstudio and your artwork but like you I am missing the sea. The views and the air are a tonic.
