Birthday morning with my new Haruki Murakami book.. 14/12/19 |
|
|
Dear all Rita took me away for my birthday in December to a surprise Airbnb location in Longhope. Two adorable Collies, Mother Maisie and son Reuben were waiting at the gate for us (at this point we were yet to meet the third pooch). All such friendly, inquisitive dogs - they didn't bark once and I really thought they were the most calm canines I'd ever met - until other dogs went past the gate! |
|
|
Went for a walk in the fading light and walked up a steep hill to find a goat right near the edge, watching on with suspicion. Like the dogs, he made no sound and allowed us through without the threat of a butt! |
|
|
With the darkness looming, I took a Blair Witch type video of us trying to get our bearings.. |
|
|
We also took a plunge in the amazing hot tub before and after watching the Strictly final. We like this photo as it looks like a 1970s polaroid. |
|
|
Now that Felt Cafe has been up and running for a few months, we thought that the interior could do with some nice artwork! Now it features paintings and limited edition prints inspired by the local surroundings, also including two abstract Amsterdam pieces and a new square panorama. |
|
|
Two limited edition framed prints of 'Winter Trail' have since been sold! |

Snowdrops will start blooming toward the end of this month. My prints and greeting cards will be on sale at Painswick Rococo Garden. To celebrate, I'm giving away a free limited edition print of 'Breaking Free' to the winning wordsmith: Come up with an alternative definition/description of 'Snowdrops' in 30 words or less... The answer I find most inspiring wins and will be published here next month. Be as flamboyant, surreal or poetic as you like.. |
