A Brief Interlude

I am going to have a blogging break. I feel that my blog has become jaded and samey. I don't want my readers to think that I am two dimensional and all that I do is garden and bake cakes! Hopefully after some time out I will return to my blog with fresh eyes and be able to share some topics other than food and gardening (although they will feature from time to time.)

I will still pop in to read your blogs but may not comment as much as I usually do.

My watercolour paints are calling to me..........................enjoy the summer. x

  1. Hello Simone!
    I totally sympathize with you on this matter as I'm feeling the same with my blog..flowers, flowers..and flowers! I don't find your blog boring at all, I enjoy a lot when you share with us progress in your garden or a new recipe, I wish I could tell things with your same excitement! But if you think you need to take a break, please take it, your friends will be here waiting for your return :)

    Looking forward to seeing your paintings xxx

  2. Enjoy your break Simone. There really is a lot to do every day, without being tied to the computer. On the days when I do get a little time for blogging, your blog is always one of the first I click on to. I really do like your down-to-earth approach to blogging and life. Please, please, come back soon. I shall miss you. x

  6. I am with Michela, I will miss you very much, you are one of the blogs I generally go to first, you have inspired me to get my cake making skills up and running again, and you have been a great help with the garden (my garden is very suitable for Roses)! Enjoy yourself, take care look for ward to reading your return.

  8. I understand completely! A couple of months I pretty much stayed away from blogging for a few weeks - just felt like I had nothing to offer and was not at all inspired to do art. Did me good. Am now back in the swing and enjoying both blogging and art.

    Enjoy your time of refreshment... see you when you get back :-)

  13. (((Simone))) I sure love this photo! Flowers and gardens are NEVER boring and neither is CAKE! It is almost summer and the roses and flower gardens are quite beguiling! Paint away and I'll see you when you get back.

  19. Oh no! So long as you return then that's OK I suppose! Actually, blogging can be rather time consuming and can get in the way of other things. Enjoy your summer, you'll let us know how the foxes are doing, and perhaps the odd cake pic wouldn't go amiss, no need for words!
