I'm Back!

I worked 86 hours last week in my 'day job'. That's a month and a half's worth of 'normal'. I'm utterly exhausted as from Monday to Thursday my days started at 6am and finished somewhere around 9pm. Friday lunchtime was the end, and since then I've been firmly plonked on the sofa while my left ear, following the example of my right ear a few weeks ago, has decided to become a cauliflour. Boo hoo. I can't bear to be idle though, so I thought that my weekend of sloth would be the perfect opportunity to learn a few more photoshop skills, and with that in mind, I decided to make Jimmy a little something for his stocking ....

This picture was taken back in August during the Festival of Trees at Westonbirt Arboretum. It was a lovely day out.

I'm quite pleased with my first clumsy attempt at photomanipulation ... I hope Jimmy likes it.
