More exciting parcels arrive

 

It was just like Christmas once more this week, parcel after parcel has been delivered with all sorts of goodies. New packs of Sunshine and Smiles collection 3, the latest published cards from Glebe Cottage Studio and lovely little packs of note cards commissioned especially by the RLNI which will be available in their shops very soon. I gather there is to be a calendar too before long, can't wait to see that! The most recent box to arrive was my lovely new tea towels taken from my painting 'The Garden Party'. They will be available to buy from my web site very shortly, I hope you like them. x

Spring time in Yorkshire

 

The Spring is sprung and it is time to welcome all the new life. I took some time out with a friend this morning to visit one of my very favourite places Jervaulx Abbey in Wensleydale. A place of tranquility and calm in our otherwise hectic world, and surrounded by lots of spring babies to make us smile.

Family bliss

At home we are playing host to numerous nesting birds who are all going hysterical grabbing anything they find to line their nests, pulling all the moss off the roof, digging up my newly planted pots and generally causing mayhem. I will just have to wait a couple of days until they have laid their eggs and are sitting quietly on their nests whilst I remake the garden! A small price to pay to have the joy of watching the fledglings take their first flight in days to come.
