The picture of health

That’s us flanking Pat Mallon and a couple of her pictures. Which are now ours.

Pat is one of the founders of our pétanque club. She doesn’t play often these days, but still throws quite well when she does get there. She took up pétanque many years before when she and her late husband were sailing around the Pacific. As you do. Pat has some amazing stories to tell.

We saw her at the recent club Christmas party and Lee complimented Pat on one of her paintings that we’d seen whilst dining with another member. Before that, we had no idea she was also an artist.

Pat promptly invited us over to look at her other works, many of which were for sale. We ended up with these two.

The seagull still needs a frame, but the boy and his dog (actual title “Best Friends”) are happily presiding over a corner of the media room.
