Hello,

This week we visited Warwick Castle as we had some vouchers to use up.

Although it's very near to us it's a while since we last visited.

It has become more commercialized, in my opinion and lost a little of the charm it once had.

Despite that, it is a spectacular English Castle, full of the most beautiful paintings and furniture.

If you have the stamina to climb the towers four hundred plus stairs, you will be rewarded by the amazing views of Warwick and the surrounding countryside.

You will find more information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_Castle

I have a few more brooches to share with you, one added recently to etsy.

My store will be closed soon as we will be away on our holiday, hopefully I will have some time to sketch then!

Many thanks for your recent comments, they are very much appreciated.

Bye for now. M x

The Warwickshire Countryside

This week I have walked and I have walked, yesterday about seven miles .

The weather has been beautiful ,warm sunshine with a cool breeze, great for exploring our local countryside.

There are many walks to follow around Kenilworth Castle, through fields and ancient woods.

You will see how it influences my art work, I took so many pictures, too many for this blog post.

The dog is our Labrador Bertie, good excuse for walks!
