Simply..tough as old boots....

..but a lot prettier. It's hard to believe that the lovely sea thrift here was completely under salt water for a week during the storms in January.

One of the ways of simply living for me is to be in touch daily with the natural world  and I always look out for the flowering of thrift, armeria maritima, on these particular rocks. I've done a number of paintings of it.

Maybe it's time to do another, to keep, since the others all sold long ago..
