I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Another book on the shelf

 

I have completed my Road Trip journal.

I finished it yesterday but as I was about to put the spiral binding on the pages, I found a couple of gaps with post-it note reminders of things still to include.

I mean, I really did need to record the blood-red stain of a footprint on the carpet by the bed in the Charleston hotel, didn’t I?

And although I’d intended to draw a picture of the two very vocal guys at the First Confederate White House and left a space for it too, I hadn’t actually  done the drawing.

But here it is, finished, and I’m wishing that I had a rather larger wire binding for it, because it’s a bit stuffed!

Still, I squeezed it into place alongside all the other travel journals on my shelf in the studio.

The trouble is, now I need a bigger shelf too! Winking smile

Blood-stained footprints by the bed: we sound like a group of spies on the tail of an international killer.
Now to find someone to build a bigger shelf . . .

I think that the 'stuffed ' versions show that there was lots to do, see, shop, enjoy and share with us. They certainly look very good memories on the shelf.
