Jeudi Journal - Walks

 I am afraid it is another background like the last ones have been - a simple reverse stencil technique.  My back has been so bad again this week that I have had to do something that did not involve painting or any kind of rubbing movement.  (I cannot even dust or polish these days, and that is not an excuse to get out of those jobs - ironing maybe ...)

Anyway, I am not here to moan and whinge about things but rather to show you my lagtest page which has the quote "I like long walks ...  away from people".  

" Chloe is just a little upset at the number of people not sticking to the rules for this  dreadful pandemic that has hit the country.  The government has asked people to socially distance and to wear face masks but there are such a lot of people who are not doing anything.  She loves to go for long walks in the countryside with her dogs 'Muffin'  and "Mopsy" and stay well away from the towns where her friends hang out at the local coffee shop.  They are not allowed inside so they stand around in crowds chattering away about the latest fashion and such girly things.

In fact it was only the other day that she and her two dogs had gone out for a walk, Muffin had been sniffing the flowers in the grass and she had laughed telling him he might get 'high' if he carried on.  Then she saw, in the distance, her friend Melanie, dressed up as if she was going somewhere special.  She wondered what the girls were doing and how many of them were off to wherever it was they were going.  "Ah well" she said to her two companions, "I like long walks ... away from people" and she carried on making her way home with her best friends, Muffin and Mopsy."

As happens most Thursdays I am entering this page into Art Journey Journal and the challenge, which this month is by Sheila and is "a single flower".  I just have the one flower on this page, the other die cuts are grasses and I do hope it is acceptable as an entry again.
