Myrea Pettit

I am so often asked about standing alone on the Fourth plinth in London’s Trafalgar square. The experience was awesome to be a part of this Anthony Gormley Art exhibition. I think my fear was it might rain, as it was I had to pull out of my original date because my husband had to have an emergency heart operation that date had fine weather. The organizers very kindly accepted the extenuating circumstances of my cancellation and gave me a new date 8 September, it was in fact my husbands birthday and only three weeks after a quadruple heart bypass, but it was a nice day, and tiring as it was for him David was able to take these photographs of me. Probably my happiest thought was being up there and him snapping away below, it seemed like a double achievement. I have been so grateful to everyone involved to make that happen

Amazing how popping in for a dress fitting with my artist friend Julie Carter who has been making one of her special designed themed dresses for me turned out to be more than I expected. Julie had nearly completed the dress, it probably helped as both she and I have similar figure measurements. I went with my brother and sister and my niece Storme (5) and David my husband to Hayle, in Cornwall, where she lives with Terry. One thing led to another, and before I knew what was happening we were in a photo-shoot that lasted well over a couple of hours. These ones are photos of David’s, I am still waiting to see those Terry filmed, can’t wait. We had a wonderful day, the time just flew by and the dress was completed before I left and so I took it with me, Thank you Julie! x

What a great day out in London, the zoo gave me the urge to go back again to the Amazon where I saw so many of these wonderful creatures in their natural surroundings. Gorillas fascinate, monkeys tease, Camels give you the hump, Spongebob gets into the Aquarium, Spiders make you squirm, bugs make you itch, Butterflies buzz and tinkle, Tigers terrify, Lions Roar, Komodo dragons to be feared, Giraffes get hungry, Pelicans ready to feed, and Penguins happy in their new ‘Beach’ enclosure just opened.
Come rain or shine a first at the London Zoo for Me, my sister Michell, and little niece Storme with Grandad David taking most of the photos and being in a few himself. We finished up just checking on Sherlock Holmes and his friend, flatmate, and assistant Dr. John H Watson at 221b Baker Street London

I love the flowers of the month, I cannot believe September is here already
