Jane Peake

Simple ways; country life (far and wide); new perspectives; arty and crafty(ish)...and all by the big, muddy, River Aire

Jack Frost visited overnight but nowadays he only gets to the outside of the window, unlike childhood years when he was foaming freely all indoors and out !

All 'Scotted-up' for our St. Andrew's day dinner ....!

It's Monday wash-day here in Nice..

Just finished stringing up the new hops which I've managed to gathered from the hedgerows along the riverbank. ...though it's a shame they turn brown so quickly, better enjoy them while we can!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

@CornwallJT We've enjoyed your travels!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

The good ship Flatpack seems to have survived the night tied up with the big boys and only a little light bailing required this morning....!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

...rather similar to Goole....!

Oxelösund is dominated by its iron works - but they have a certain charm by the time evening comes #felicitybaltic

@torqueback So good Chris!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

Finally replaced the rather temperamental 34 year old outboard motor and here we are cruising down the R. Derwent. Just passing Wressel Castlle, top dog at the helm...perfect!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

At the start of this trip we had "Yellow Warnings " for torrential rain ...now we're being advised we could keel over from heat exhaustion....wardrobe nightmare!!!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

...and finally!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

...last heard upon re-entering the van.." now one's fallen on the floor and the other's gone into my shoe...fff..lipping heck...!" ...all character building stuff!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

...OK, all set for a grand day out!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

Good morning all and here's the 'before and after' view....the downpour started shortly after arrival and promises to resume just after the last mouthful of breakfast..!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

The latest creation from the JaneP studio "my family and other animals ".... I know, its of bit of a departure into hard-edged realism, but what the heck!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

@CornwallJT @CornwallLibDems @LibDemPress So brave!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]

@torqueback So good!

[Jane Peake @RedGreenJaneP]
