Well, I have made my Christmas cards this year. They’re not wonderful, but they’re mine. I bought some magazines for ideas, but not one had religious themes. Also, the freebies they gave away were all pastel in colour. To me, Christmas has to be jewel colours. Red, green, blue, silver, gold, white. I won’t be buying any more card magazines.

I got my second TMA (tutor marked assignment) today. Only 76% but I was expecting worse so I’m pleased. Ready to start the next one now. Hope to get more next time as it seems very straight forward. We shall see.

Lovely day yesterday at Potteric Carr. (Yorkshire Wild Life) Saw two bitterns, two water rails, a kingfisher (twice) siskins, a redpoll and the usual suspects.
