Making delicious blueberry muffins but also a great fun place mat to put the coffee and muffins on there :-) We must indeed all stay at home or at least very close to home. I am working but I am lucky to have many polders around our house to get a breath of fresh air.<br />You also have beautiful paintings hanging and that is really nice to see. I am a bit jealous of your beautiful glasses in which a bird is entwined in its foot. Really great to see :-)))<br /> and thank you for your muffins recipe,<br />Be careful David and stay safe.<br />A big hug from the Netherlands xoHelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669041021568049241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-15357717584135081642020-04-04T15:48:17.872-04:002020-04-04T15:48:17.872-04:00Podobają mi się te obrazy z ptakami. teraz, kiedy ...Podobają mi się te obrazy z ptakami. teraz, kiedy sama próbuje malować zwracam więcej uwagi na malarstwo związane z ptakami.Ludmiła Jabłońskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124925987479037673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-30545462843266785452020-04-03T13:27:14.737-04:002020-04-03T13:27:14.737-04:00Lovely coffee corner, and superb paintings of bird...Lovely coffee corner, and superb paintings of birds!DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-65453118695874216552020-04-03T13:01:01.153-04:002020-04-03T13:01:01.153-04:00You’d need a heck of a lot of both bananas and chi...You’d need a heck of a lot of both bananas and chicken thighs for one of his pictures, you’d have to throw in a case of good bubbly as well, if not two.

I think personal pleasure comes first, but he started painting for "hawkers" painting their hawks for them, frequently on the wrist, and then branched out. He has, to my knowledge, sold a lot of pix all round the world. No, you are right but I do eat a lot of kelp salad which is good, mussels too and then I spoil it with pot stickers and dumplings.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-40141939666692707262020-04-03T11:13:27.135-04:002020-04-03T11:13:27.135-04:00I might just add to the tour in future posts, Rich...I might just add to the tour in future posts, Richard.

I now realise that I was wrong, although I can see some logic in not keeping one's library in the kitchen with all those cooking vapours, delightful as I'm sure they are, floating around! I have the feeling that, when you take us outside your kitchen, as I hope you will in a future post, I'll see that my original thoughts were not far from the truth.<br /><br />You have some wonderful art-works there, and Miriam's socket-cover hanging is amazing and so clever in its concept. I also love that table mat. <br /><br />I have never been one for muffins, but the sight of Miriam's muffins might well have changed my mind (no double entendre intended). Might well try that recipe myself - if I can get the ingredients in these difficult times.<br /><br />Take great care, and keep well - - - David - sorry - Richard!!!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-21862080647800792742020-04-03T09:52:52.607-04:002020-04-03T09:52:52.607-04:00You will have to post some of his work on your blo...You will have to post some of his work on your blog, Jo.

I'm saving this one!). Your home is beautiful and filled with the warmth and loveliness I would expect from your writing. The art is magnificent. No wonder you leave Barry's with something new each time! And that Hazel Grouse, wow. I'm especially fond of the bird in white, too. But honestly, I love it all. It's nice to imagine you two coming in from an expedition (or preparing to go out on one), surrounded by this beauty. Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.com
