New Years eve in Thailand

Barbara and I were about the only Europeans in a remote village in Thailand on New Years eve and we came across this festival.   They were releasing dozens and dozens of Chinese lanterns into the night sky.

The Old Rectory - Ulster Folk Museum

I was asked to come in to work and get dressed in period costume on Saturday , National Drawing Day,  and spent the day painting in the grounds of the museum.   Because the weather was bad I had to sit inside one of the old houses.   This was the result.
