John William Waterhouse
The greatest protection is a loving heart. Protecting yourself, you protect others. Protecting others you protect yourself.

  1. Good evening, dear Lydia,
    a beautiful painting and a wise saying. I find protection very important, especially self-protection.

    Wishing you a good night with protection of your guardian angel

    Self protection is very important for everyone.

  6. Hi Lydia, what a beautiful picture and saying. I just read you pepper post too. What a great idea. I've never tried that but I'm making a note to do some next summer. Come visit when you have time, Anna has a nice surprise for you.

  7. Hi Lydia, That is such a lovely sentiment and picture. How clever you are to grow chillies. Im not very good at gardening although I used to have a little strawberry patch and herb garden years ago. I managed to grow broccoli quite well but sweetcorn was a disaster. Great ideas for the chillies and a great tip to remember to wash hands after touching them X

    Hello Judy,
    Thank you. These crushed peppers will last you a very long time.
    I'm so happy I won something. I have to send my thanks to both you and your adorable kitty Anna for drawing my name!

    Hello Vintage Kitty,
    Thank you!
    I never grew broccoli before. I should try it some summer, because I really do enjoy eating it.
    I too tried growing sweet corn one summer and "what a mistake that was!" Never again! I'll just buy it from the local farm stand when it's in season.
    Wishing you a very pleasant day,
    Lydia
