You’re very welcome to Boyne Valley Kryle look forward to meeting again on next paintout.

Thank you Sally, look forward to that, Kyrle

Hi Marty et al. Just to confirm Ill be going to the paintout in Listoke this Saturday Kyrle. Looking forward to meet the group attending.

Looking forward to getting out again, hope to see you there Kyrle

Hope to be there Kyrle

Sorry we won't make it this time,  but hope to get out with the group next time,   Margaret 

Thank you Sean for a wonderful paint out location today in Skerries, I had never painted there before and was delighted to find so many possiblities, and of course the tea and chat were great too. The ice cream was delicious too !

Welcome to Boyne Valley Norma.   I hope you won’t always be in Cork and will be able to join us on our paintouts sometimes.  Kyrle says you may be interested in the Carna trip next week.  I think it’s unlikely that there is a room available. But things change so suddenly with this new normal that you might be lucky. I suggest you phone the hotel - 095 32255.  Let me know how you get on. You can text me at 086 8059177. Best of luck. 

To all my friends in BVPE, A very Happy Xmas, and a Safe, Healthy, Prosperous and Happy New Year.  

Remember The Donald said "This will miraculously disappear" thank God he was right He will be gone in a month! Looking forward to meeting up in 2020.

I am excited to join  Plein Eire Boyne Valley group, thank you. My goal this year is to paint Plein air and loosen up my painting to achieve a more painterly effect. I am looking forward to getting out there when things get a little easier. In the meantime I will explore the equipment other than the paints etc..

Looks like Sat will be wet. What about meeting at coffee hut on beach at Clogherhead 11am. MONDAY? Clogherhead is NORTH of Drogheda.
Beach, rocks, cliffs and a pier for piery people.
Coffee etc available but bring flask etc. - just in case.

Yes Sally, no point travelling on wet days, monday sounds good to me

Sally, Norah below comments sound good to me too

Great! I'll be there.

Thanks for organizing the outing.  Unfortunately I cannot attend as I'll be in Mayo.  Looking forward to catching up soon. 

Thinking of trotting up to Clogherhead on Monday from South Dublin

lets see what the morning looks like

Or you could trot to Farmleigh.  I'm doing a demo for the WCSI and there will be a paintout.

Alison, Robert and John.  I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it to Clogherhead tomorrow. I took a tumble yesterday and don’t think I’ll.be able to drive.  If you go have a lovely time and hopefully we’ll get together soon. Alternatively WCSI in Farmleigh all week. 

soon.  Alternatively WCSI exhibition in Farmleigh. 

Hope it's nothing serious Sally and you have a quick recovery. Hoping to join you on a paint-out soon.

John

I hope you are ok Sally, its a nuisance and I hope you take care and rest for a while, be kind to yourself. Norah

Thanks for your concern folks. Don’t think it’s anything more than sprained wrist. 

I'm sorry to hear about your fall Sally.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Heatco have arrived to install new fireplace. May not get out .....

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Sally

Thanks fir good wishes Sean.  Have to confess the injury doesn’t justify all the kind attentions from BVers.  
Saturday looks like being damp. Is anyone interested in painting-out on Sunday, which promises to be nice weather, perhaps in Oldbridge?

Very sorry to hear you had a fall Sally . I hope you’re okay and not too badly hurt . Take things easy and get well  . Cinnie 

Thanks Cinnie and Frank completely recovered.   Yes will be in Oldbridge coffee shop 11 o’clock tomorrow, Sunday.  Forecast not too bad so hope there will be a few of us. 

Spectacular pic of Clogherhead lifeboat, Norah.  Thanks for organising the day. I feel we are gradually getting over our Covid lethargy. 

Yes Sally, its difficult but I am getting those fears again with numbers so high again, we will see how it goes in the next few weeks - time also for the winter woolies. I wasnt impressed with the mask under the noses with one of the staff in the Shack - she got very niffed when I asked her to fix it.   I am temtped to go back to my cottage sketch some day soon as I see now what I want to do :)

I am looking forward to meeting soon

regards

Deirdre and I were saddened to hear the news of Sean's passing. Such a gentleman and he had a quirky style very much his own as well. He was a pleasure to know. 

So, so sad to hear of Sean's passing. As an artist, he was a wonderful colourist and draftsman. As a person, he was generous and kind with a wonderful sense of humour. May you rest in peace kind man. Alison 

So sorry to hear this news.I only met him a few times but he was a gentleman. May he rest in peace.

So sad to hear this news. Rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Sean's death.  He was such a gentle friendly person.  He will be greatly missed.  

So sorry to hear this news. Sean was a lovely person - great company and a fantastic artist. RIP
