The gentle life of an artist-illustrator living in the rural Cotswolds with four cats and an abundant vegetable garden. Tales of woodland walks, snapshots of our tiny cottage, the occasional cricket match and whatever artworks I am working on.

Oh me oh my! You've shown me what a blog can be! I so enjoyed reading and viewing your recent posts. I'll be back to read the archives. I'm sending your link to an English friend who taught me pottery and is my art mentor and dearest friend. I think this will make her sweetly homesick. Thank you so much for the lovely visit.

Thank You!

Fun, lovely little illustrations-- so marvelous to see the early sketches and then the finished products. Plus nice home-related posts to mix it up. Visiting was a happy break for me.

Please feel free to visit me as you can. Cheers! :)
