[Nula2]

Hi Ern🙋‍♀️, Wow wee love them all - but this has got to be my favourite so far. Want to walk up that lovely path and the trees and colours are amazing!😊 Thank you so much for cheering up a stressy old woman 😅. Look after yourself ❤️xxxx

[Ern007 in reply to Nula2]

Thank you Nula - Glad you got a cheer xxxx

[B0xermad]

Wow we have had 3 weeks of hot weather until yesterday and it's warm but cooler than last week 25c

[Ern007 in reply to B0xermad]

We in NW had about 4 good days - It was warmer but also wetter. It is now 13C with a high of 15C. .

[B0xermad in reply to Ern007]

Definitely north vs south weather divide. Currently 18 here

[Ern007 in reply to B0xermad]

Yes a marked difference - For the size of Britain, a real difference between North and South.

[Patk1 in reply to B0xermad]

U are lucky! I'm in Erns neck of the woods.not much sun4us x

[B0xermad in reply to Patk1]

To be fair it's been tad to warm for me sometimes and had to stay inside ,lungs don't like it too hot or cold lol

[Ern007 in reply to B0xermad]

I like it at least warm, I tolerated C in Turkey a few years ago - We had thee days in mid 20s last week, as I type now 13C and rain, heavy just comeing back from eye clinic. Normally not to bad in NW England as sheltered with Pennines, soemone must have nicked them lol.

[Dottie11]

Yes I agree. cold here again. My heating has fired up. Such a contrast to last week. Lovely warm colours just the thing. A spot of Ginger tea too. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

Thank you Dotte,oh I like Ginger Cake - Must admit never had ginger tea,xx

[Dottie11]

These last few years I have eaten more and more. In soup, tea, dark chocolate ginger, cake less so as it has Gluten in many. My husband loves Ginger cake. The smell is wonderful. It is a good anti inflammatory. i use the root and soak in hot water for tea. Sometimes with Honey too. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

As a youngster I had lots of Ginger Bisuits - They were had but loved them, My two fave Cake is Ginger and Cherry and Sultana both soft as I like them. I like honey also, On bread, in oats and weetabix to sweeten., xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Oh yes I had forgotten ginger biscuits . I love Cherry in anything. Currently enjoying lots of them this time of year. Good vitamins too. Honey is useful in so many ways as you say. A neighbour makes some which is very nice and tastes of lavender too. Summer foods such as berries as tasty too. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

I eat berries, Strawberry and Raspberry, not keen on Blueberry, but like goosberry in a pie. Good for you too. I am not allowed Kiwi or Grapefuit because of my medication, I like Kiwi but hate grapfruit anyway, to sour.. Rhubarb Crumble, that's a treat when we get it xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Oh yes goosberry another memory jog. I like berries in porridge with Honey. Rhubarb easy to grow and nice with ginger. I dont eat Grapefruit these days nor oranges as they cause sores in my mouth. . Years ago we used to sprinkle on Cinnamon and warm under the grill- re grapefruit. Blackberries are tasty too. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

I like blackberry - Where I live there are hedgrows full of them. i love the taste of bramble, in jam too. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Growing up we were always picking them its such a taste of Summer. We used to go Strawberry picking in Herefordshire too. xx

[Issy22]

Ern this painting is amazing ,it’s absolutely beautiful. My favourite so far now. Love the autumnal colours. Is this painting based on an original design from another artist ?

Well done Ern xx

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

Thank you Issy - I remembered this painting from two years ago painted by an artist named Sky - who helped me transform from watercolour to acrylic technique wise , while the original idea was not mine. This painting came from my memory. xx

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

Thank you Ern I just wondered if it was from maybe a famous artist ( Van Gogh or Picasso). Iam glad you chose to paint this one it’s very good. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

No not from the famous - I have done a Van Gogh Starry Night and Van Gogh Roses - Monets Poppy Field and ShoreLine in Venice, they are on here. xx

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

I remember seeing your painting starry night I liked that painting. I will have to search for some of your earlier paintings I would like to see the poppy fields painting, it was probably posted before I joined the forum. Iam not a fan of Picasso either, some of the paintings are ugly with weird bold shapes. I like the paintings by the artist Monet especially the water Lillie’s painting. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

The Monet one is not far down my painting as just a month ago,

[Issy22 in reply to Ern007]

I found it Ern its lovely I like the combination of red and orange poppies. and the little house is very rural and rustic, very French. I like your added input of the lane and the girl in the field. Another good painting from yourself well done. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

Thank you Issy and yes I wanted it very French you are spot on . The lane inspired by the lane in no More The Darkness Film. xx

[winnabago]

Love the mix of colors.

[Ern007 in reply to winnabago]

Thank you winabago .

[Welshcatlady]

[Ern007 in reply to Welshcatlady]

[Germantara]

[Ern007 in reply to Germantara]

Thank you Germantara.

[Issy22]

I don’t remember seeing poppy field I must of been on holiday. I will find it. xx

[Mavary]

aww! That’s lovely. Don’t think I want Autumn quite yet. We need some Summer.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

No I agree, but we have no summer whe I live. never known a summer like this

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

No none here either.

[Greenthorn]

I like that one a lot Ern. It has your mark on it and I love the blue panelled brolly or parasol, matching the blue in the sky. I'm still hoping for some summery spells.

[Ern007 in reply to Greenthorn]

Thank you Greenthorn - I like autumn colours, I really hope we get some summer soon, 66 million of us must be lacking Vit D,

[Turnipgirl]

Today it felt like October when I went out for a walk not July!

[Ern007 in reply to Turnipgirl]

Worst summer I have known and last years not far behind. Horris weather.

[HungryHufflepuff]

[Ern007 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you HungryHufflepuff.
