The Bluebells are just magnificent this year.Of course Chance is oblivious with his nose down tracking a scent while we walked :D :D

They are everywhere where I walk.

 I'd missed those beautiful Bluebells Denise, absolutely gorgeous. Do they have a perfume?  Chance is a typical male, not interested in flowers  :D

Bluebells do have a scent like hyacinths Judy.Its more pronounced if it's a warm day. :)

I've just hung my paint brush and roller for the day.  ;D

Such a big job doing skirting boards, doors and frames. It doesn't help that I'm so slow. The sanding, washing and taping seem to take forever. If you think your house is too small, paint it.

Two things that kept me going was that Kimmy is painting too and I was thinking of us painting together and I'm really pleased with the results of what I have painted.

On the bright side - there is always a bright side  ;D I sold a chest of drawers and a china cabinet on gumtree that were picked up today so that is 2 less things in my home.  :D

I was wondering how you were going. It's so lonely painting. Very satisfying and empowering when done. Good to know I helped you out. Well done mich. I've just clocked over two weeks of painting and it's an understatement to say I am over it. We have stained arcs and skirts which is good, but you won't believe how many times I have marked them with wall paint. Only garage, robes, pantry and cupboards to go. Not looking forward to emptying these.

I haven't stepped into the paint tray yet Judy, but the boys think it's hilarious that a have paint on my pants bottom and two boob imprints on my tshirt, where I bumped a wet wall 😝

Lovely photo CC. You live in such a picturesque place.

Take care Astarra. Sounds very painful xox

You do live in such a picturesque part of England CC and your photos look like a Monet or Matisse painting. Stunning  ;D

Have you ever seen a painter with clean clothes Kimmy?   ;D  Those white overalls are usually covered in paint splotches.  You've done a wonderful job, well done and I hope you're finished very soon.

I admire all your hard work painting Kimmy and Michele.I'm hopeless with a paintbrush as I always load my brush too much and it then runs up my arm :-)) DH just "tuts" under his breath at my antics :D :D

Two weeks Kim  :o  I am sure you are over it. Sitting back at the end of the day and staring at freshly painted walls /wood work is very satisfying.

Amazingly, I haven't stepped in the paint tray either Judy.
