Retro blog: Bonus blog with art photos

Posted on September 9, 2022September 11, 2022

Retro blog. Way back in time to the very beginning of this retirement blog, 2013 in fact. The subject remains topical though. One of the first of Mrs Summerhouse’s exhibitions (just plain ‘my wife’ at this point). Topical because she has an exhibition going on right now at our local Heart centre. She’s just gone…

A hectic retirement blog

Posted on August 9, 2022

A hectic retirement. As somebody once said, they think it’s all over. If we were referring to the wait for international football success so it would be thanks to the women folk and England being female European football champions. England’s first international football success since 1966. Just thought I’d slip that in. And so it…

Retro art blog: The Summer Exhibition

Posted on February 20, 2022February 20, 2022

So retro art. We got a nice reaction to our last art blog so I thought I’d go back in time to what I think is our first Mrs Summerhouse’s art blog for this retro retirement blog. Back to 2014 for this one. A very different style neither better nor worse, just different. What you…

Posted on February 18, 2022

So to retirement art. It’s been a while since I posted any of Mrs Summerhouse’s art but she’s been beavering away nonetheless. So here are four example of her most recent work. She’s produced it for an exhibition she’s got coming up, more of which later no doubt. Retirement art summary So it’s nice that…

Retirement activities: Stained glass 2

Posted on January 16, 2022January 17, 2022

Retirement activities. A retro retirement blog from December 2013. It was in the days when we were both searching for arty type activities for our retirement time. Mrs Summerhouse found stained glass work. For a while it looked like it was going to be a definite plank of our retirement. It wasn’t. It’s strange looking …

Retirement blog: Mrs Summerhouse creates again

Posted on November 5, 2021

It’s been a while since we posted any of Mrs Summerhouse’s art on this retirement blog. But never fear she’s been working away while I’ve been writing and so today we offer some of her latest doodles. Hope you enjoy them.

Retirement blog : more doodles from Mrs Summerhouse

Posted on August 20, 2021September 21, 2021

I confessed recently that I’d been rather slack in the area of my playing music. I hinted that I thought Mrs Summerhouse had been equally indolent when it came to her art. Turns out I was quite wrong and here to prove it are 10 of her recent doodles. They go along with her earlier…

Retirement blog: Stained glass

Posted on July 4, 2021September 21, 2021

Retro retirement blog (a very short one) about an early and unfortunately short-lived retirement hobby. Like the last retro blog it involves taking a course. Back to October 2013 for this one. This was a retirement activity for Mrs Summerhouse and it seemed like a good one to begin with. Unfortunately for one reason or…

Mrs Summerhouse’s art

Posted on April 2, 2021September 21, 2021

No need to wonder what Mrs Summerhouse has been doing since her last art post. Here are her last four creations all painted in the last month. Makes me wonder how she had time to paint before lockdown.

Mrs Summerhouses’s art

Posted on February 26, 2021

In case you’ve been wondering what Mrs Summerhouse has been up to on the art front whilst in lockdown, here’s the answer. In the absence of more plates to decorate she’s gone back to basics – painting acrylic on canvas in this case. This wouldn’t have been an option except she had a considerable number…
