Well after a lovely summer together its goodbye and farewell to my motorbike, and Phil's! We've had fun, I've ticked another thing off my 'things to do before I die' list, and had a hobby to do with Phil. Never quite made it round Europe but hey you have to save somethings to do when you're older! We did go to Dorset and that was a lovely experience to share with Phil and it also highlighted some of the drawbacks of motorbiking, like sitting on the beach in the middle of summer with full biking gear on! Or trying to walk round Corfe castle with big hot boots on and carrying a helmet, as they say you live and learn! and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Also I suppose its one less thing to worry about, it was always on the back of my mind when Phil went out on his bike I couldn't quite settle till I knew he was home safe, and he admitted yesterday he felt the same about me. Also the biggest bonus of all is that the proceeds of the bikes go towards our ultimate goal of a bigger house! I guess you have to look a the bigger picture and see what we are gaining by selling the bikes as opposed to what we are loosing. Another bonus is I have just remembered the fun you can have of photoshop! Doesn't Lola look cute with go-faster stripes.
Having been playing around on photoshop and feeling just ever so slightly arty, which is probably the last word anyone who knows me would choose to use to describe me! I have played around with the picture of the bloom as I wasn't overly happy with the flash on the pictures bleaching out the detail. So heres my new version. Also here is the orchid, I love the way the editing has higlighted the flash pattern against the wall, it makes it even more stylised! I'm starting to feel slightly impressed with myself.
