Retirement blog : New horizons?

Posted on January 10, 2021January 13, 2021

Last weekend in the papers there were several reports of what good had come out of 2020 and its lockdown. Presumably as a salve to this next version. There were several articles about activities people had engaged in because their usual activities were restricted. For example, a person by the name of Tom Vanderbilt told us about what he had done that was different to his usual life engagements. They were joining an on-line singing group, drawing, surfing and making his own wedding ring. Blimey, I thought, that’s quite impressive, no, very impressive.

So in this bonus retirement blog I’m offering up Mrs Summerhouse’s more modest version. Specifically decorating plates. I mentioned it before and said the idea had come courtesy of a friend who had looked at her Advent doodles and thought they would nicely suit plate designs.

So far she’s plated up 12. My intention is to post 4 at a time over the next few weeks. So here are the first four. Like the initial doodles, they’re in black and white.
