Greetings Harvatt!...Welcome to our pond!

Thank you for lovely greetings

Thank you to Falcon , Meanderer , Ina , Ruth , Lois and Floydy from Hull England - My home town .

Thank you all so much , I believe from what I have seen on this page tonight that you are all from

America except of course my friend Floydy . Having had so little little dealings or should I say conversation

with our friends from America I believe now that you are as a Nation , the friendly people I have always

been led to believe you are . Thankyou for the compliments you have offered , this has been such a lovely

greeting and I am really looking forward to discussions or should that be messages they call them on a

Forum that I hope will come along in the future . Thank you again , kind regards Terry .
 
Meanderer , The fish you have displayed here look so familiar - is that possible ?

I taught my self Water Colour painting - Chinese Style . about 4 years ago . I

painted quite a few but they were all flowers or shrubs , but in the course of my

learning I do remember fish very similar - they are great . Thanks for putting

them on . regards Terry .

You are welcome Terry. The painting of KOI fish is by Lin Li, of Atlanta Georgia.

Hi Harvatt....and Welcome! Like Ina, I don't know anything about your occupation experiences you listed, but it sounds interesting. :)
 
Hello SeaBreeze , thank you so much for your welcome . I take it from your picture of
the schooner and your title , you must have an association with the sea - it is a good photo.
'not regretting growing older' does that mean you have a tende:)ncy to think of yourself
as a sea salt or that you are one .
 
Hello Vixenator and greetings to yourself, I have only been on site approx. 1 day but am already
enjoying posts that are coming over . I did at one point I believe ,that you are all from America,
but then there is no wonder , it is rather a large place to say the least, and can I say it - you are
all such lovely people , not exactly what I have been used to on the local forums that I have
been on . Thank you again . Terry . :)
 
Hello Raven , thank you for your welcome I have had so many super welcomes I have had
a job keeping up with them. I am looking forward to having a few nice chat when we get to know
each other better , in the mean time , thanks and kind regards Raven - talk again soon I hope.
Regards , Terry . - From Hull England ,
 
Miniature Houses 1/12 Scale

Hello Falcon , At last I have found some photographs of the houses I 'built'
I do not know how they will fit onto post . I will put the first one on first - it
took a full six months to make - started in the June , the idea to make it as
a Christmas present for Grand daughter , just finished it in time, complete
with furniture and lighting . As I remember it is about 3ft long, nearly 3ft high and about 15 " front to back . Built in 1996 . Three
photos landed on post - I do not know how or how to get rid of surplus .

Hello Uff , Thank you so much for your post . Pleased you like the house - it was
built as a Tudor house . My granddaughter was 8 years at the time in 1996 and in the June of
that year I found myself volunteering to build a house for her for Christmas of that year , only
then did I find it had to be in 1/12th scale and my first house . I made it on time complete with
all furniture and about 15 lights .I don't think I can show the furniture as the house it'self has
moved house three times and I believe at the moment it is iphoto 3 (1).jpgn storage . She is living 300 miles away .
I have only built one house and a thatched pub since then as my wife was taken ill and I was
looking after her for about two years then regrettably lost her . I was shortly after taken
seriously ill in hospital and am only just now recovering . I have managed to teach myself Water
Colour Painting in the mean time - Chinese Style - completed about 25 paintings . Long Story .
Anyway I will endeavour to put the second house on the Forum out of interest .
Kind regards to you both and take care
Terry . P.S. This House Image Finished Up In The Wrong Spot - It Is My Second House - Not The Tudor >
