(l'amour en cage)

314/366 Friday November 2012 - When I got home from work there was a stack of parcels waiting for me. (Wadding, an order from Simply Solids, a new Cardigan and the next book group choice from Amazon.) It felt like an early Christmas. If I'd been more organised they'd have made a good photo of the day. As it is, a bowl of Cape Gooseberries will have to suffice. They do look Autumnal and are probably more photogenic than my mail heaped up.

Ma première grande peinture "physalis", oui, elle est installée sereinement dans le sud , en France, chez une amie collectionneuse avertie. Bravo pour elle.
