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

Gifts

Hello

Hope your festivities are going well.

I must say thank you to Alex who sent me a secret Santa gift.

She sent me this beautiful hand made pottery, felt book, bracelet and chocolates!

My gift has gone astray across the Atlantic to Paloma!

Hope it gets there soon Paloma

Today we were out in the bitter cold, taking our dog Bertie for a walk across the fields.

Need to walk off all those Christmas calories!

Our walk takes us past Kenilworth Castle , we are so lucky to live near such a beautiful historic Castle.

If you ever come to Warwickshire you should visit.

I have been working on a few bits of embroidery, a dancing figure and another tree brooch.

I do hope to get back to a bit of painting and drawing this week, my husband gave me an easel for Christmas!
