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… Continue reading Retro blog: Bonus blog with art photos

A hectic retirement blog
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… Continue reading A hectic retirement blog
Retro art blog: The Summer Exhibition
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… Continue reading Retro art blog: The Summer Exhibition

Retirement activities: Stained glass 2
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 … Continue reading Retirement activities: Stained glass 2

Retirement blog : more doodles from Mrs Summerhouse
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… Continue reading Retirement blog : more doodles from Mrs Summerhouse
Retirement blog: Stained glass
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… Continue reading Retirement blog: Stained glass
Mrs Summerhouse’s art
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
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… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouses’s art
