Where was I? (October 2023)

It’s a small Island in the Southern Aegean Sea.

It had one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history.

The Island is renowned for its stunning sun sets.

Enjoy the views….they are breath taking! 😍

Beautiful Santorini 😍

The Architectural Marvels of a UNESCO Capital City

(10) Where Was I ?

It is a Capital City, and the old part was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The city lies on a bay with a protected harbour.

It is a place where you dance the salsa, drink mojitos, and smoke the odd cigar or two. The city is renowned for its literature, architecture, politics, folklore, music, and of course, the Rum!

Enjoy your visit to this vibrant City.

Where was I ?

I was in Havana, Cuba.

Happy Thursday ❤️

Beatrix Potter

Back in the late 90’s all my friend’s kids were very much into Beatrix Potter characters.

Helen Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English author, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. She is best known for her children’s books featuring animals.

The Tales of Peter Rabbit and his friends.

Here are a couple of murals I painted for my friend’s children…many years ago!

A mural painting I did for a friend’s daughter.

Positive Life Events: A Year of Growth

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Hmm…quite a few, I think!

It’s actually been quite a distressing and lonely year. But, despite that, I feel I have accomplished a lot.

A massive, but positive event for me this year…was completing 10 months of EMDR therapy for C-PTSD. This was undoubtedly, one of the hardest, but necessary challenges for me….well, for a long time, anyway!

I joined the world of WP blogging. I believe I’ve made some wonderful friends and have built some positive connections. I have learned a lot and I hope I will continue to learn from my fellow artists, writers, poets …

To be featured in “FEATURES by VALENCIARTIST” on WP, of which I’m truly grateful.

I quit smoking!

I picked up my paint brush again.

I have completed two paintings, and I’m currently working on my third and fourth.

I continue to write the final chapter of my memoir.

For those who know 😉…shenanigans & 💃💃💃 will be escalated in 2025! 😂😂

Happy Saturday, my friends! ❤️
