state of singapore's artists

generally a very disorganised, un-united, selfish, squabbling, back-stabbing lot

just have to voice out my disappointment, disgust and displeasure, even though it has nothing to do with me at all, since i'm not a painting artist or a whatever. but i still feel very ashamed after an email conversation with my ex art instructor, as we're still so far aways from what he and other artists are doing to help one another in the united states...

i feel so very sorry for you dad..

thanks for the love and support! ^_^
Welcome to my first post! My name is Kelly and I own and run a website called Vintage Lifestyle . I will be posting about all things vintage as that is one of my true loves besides my family of course!

I have just changed the look of the homepage of my website so that it now includes more pics and a little "vintage style tip" which will be changed every few weeks. What do you think?

Well I think I will start out by posting an interesting little journey I had with the family. We took a journey on one of the few sunny days we had, to the little village of Broadchalke, Wiltshire. We stopped there for 2 reasons, one being we saw a most glorious garden which I had to get a better look at and the other was because there is an old church there, and I like old churches and graveyards! They are full of interest and so peaceful.

After admiring the garden, I ventured into the graveyard. I was talking to Paul ( hubby) about the blossom trees and he suddenly said "Wow, look behind you!" and there it was, Cecil Beaton's grave! I couldn't quite beleive it. The grave is directly under a blossom tree and I thought, quite a lovely place to buried!



This is the second time we came across a famous grave, the other being Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which if I remember correctly is in the graveyard of a small church in Minstead in the New forest. That was quite a "spiritual" event because when we found the grave, the sky went dark very quickly and suddenly lightning began over the field behind the graveyard! I was expecting the "Hound" to start howling but alas, no, just rain!
Bye for now.......
