Morning from a sunny and breezy Pembrokeshire. The storm we had on Monday was not very pleasant. Very strong winds and some damage in our area (but just weaker branches down on the ground on our farm). We did need the rain though!
It is Wednesday again, so I am making an effort to get this post typed. Very little crafting has happened in the past week (or 2 weeks really, as I missed last week), and if I do make something I often forget to take photos. I have started learning and using Serif CraftArtist 2 Professional again (to give it its full title!), and joined a Zoom workshop group on Saturday afternoons. It has been a few years since I have had this software working (my old craft room pc died and had to have its hard drive replaced, and I never bothered reinstalling all the software as I wasn't using it right then). When I saw these workshops I decided to get my spare CD-Roms out of the cupboard and get it installed on my fancy new pc. I had forgotten how fantastic it is and intend to learn all the more advanced features this year.
Here is my screen this morning. Nothing exciting to show so far. We were learning how to take a page of embellishments and divide them up (so they are transparent to use as 'stickers'). Very useful.
The search for a car for me continues. We went to drive one locally yesterday, but decided not to get that specific one. Seen a few online, so may well be buying one 'unseen' and getting it delivered. We spent all of last Tuesday in Swansea trying out a few different new cars (plus a wonderful lunch down by the beach - exciting to have a meal 'out' again). Decided on the BMW i3, so at least we have narrowed down the search now.
We might be going to visit family in England this weekend. My stepson, fiancee and their 2 young daughters. Not seen them for well over a year. It does depend on the weather though, as would only be able to meet up outside somewhere. We also have to stay at a hotel in Wales, rather than the usual Premier Inn close to them in Warrington. If the forecast for Saturday continues into Sunday, then I will definitely be postponing until later in May when we can at least have a meal inside a pub/cafe.
Hope everyone is keeping well and busy.

ps This is a picture I took on a warm/sunny day recently. My electric bike up on one of the hills a few miles from the farm. A very nice place to stop and admire the views from the coast round to the mountains.
