New Cards

When I started to plan Mayflye-cards, one of the things I wantd to do was create cards based on well known films. Well, I've finally managed it. Two cards, 'loosely' based on Brief Encounter and Casblanca, are now available on the site.

These are suitable for Valentine Day's use (or whenever you feel romantic).

For next month, and beyond, I've been working on cards based in desert locations. Perhaps it's becaue of the near endless rain we've been having in Britain.

New Year

New Year's Day.

I went out for a walk on the moors to blow the cobwebs away and to get away from the cats, who were hanging around as if expecting something: one's trying to walk across the laptop even as I write.

I find walking's usually good for generating ideas for new cards, although today was an exception. The poet, Ian Duhig, quoted another poet to me once (can't remember his name),who when asked where ideas came from said that if he knew he'd go there. Or something like that.

Perhaps it was the mist and drizzle, but I didn't get there today either. I took the photograph as it somehow represented this place being off in the mist - except I was going the other way when I took it.

It'll get better.

Happy New Year.
