trees

This week . . .

Last Sunday I was in Caldecott Park in Rugby for ‘Art in the Park’, a celebration of local artists surrounded by beautiful trees. This was my first ever experience of having a stall outside being completely uncovered, so we were really lucky to have the sun shining all day. It was great to get some […]

Folksy Friday – Trees

I love trees. Their different forms, shapes of leaves, texture of bark surfaces, and wonky roots have always been a large source of inspiration for my work. Check out these gorgeous Folksy shops below, where I’ve selected some of my favourite tree related pieces. Get ready to drool! Picture “Tree” by Art in Hands A […]

British Summertime ends

The above picture was taken from one of my recent early morning rides out on Dizzy. We explored a new bridleway and found a little wooden bridge to clip clop over. As it’s now the start of September and summer is coming to an end, I noticed the cow parsley is all drying out. Only […]

As autumn approaches…

I’ve been enjoying the last of the last of the summer sun this week, busying away in the workshop with the door open, preparing for the cooler autumn days to start.

A walk along the canal

We are so lucky to have a stretch of the canal only ten minutes walk from our house. We only discovered it yesterday while out exploring, after living here well over a month now. We knew it was here somewhere, but couldn’t find it last time we were out walking… You have to go through […]

Winter Walk

I can’t believe how quickly the autumn leaves are falling from the trees. The gorgeous red, yellow and orange colours from the leaves are a rare treat when autumn comes, because they are all gone before you know it! That Christmassy feeling is definitely in the air now, there are Christmas songs being played in […]

A Walk in the Woods

Castle Ashby Gardens

During the quiet period of the craft fair at Castle Ashby on Sunday afternoon, I took the opportunity to wander around the gardens and take some photos. If you’ve never visited the gardens of Castle Ashby House, I would definitely recommend it as a day out, the views are simply stunning! It wasn’t until I […]

Trip to Country Park

Yesterday we went for a walk around a local country park. As usual we picked the wrong time to go, it had been raining the night before so it was a bit muddy, but it was nice to be out in the peaceful fresh air. We followed the numbered trail, Came across some rather unusual […]
