Merry Christmas.

 

The family Christmas tree always had a glass Santa (which aged with me), and a Christmas Fairy (which aged with my older sister). I thought it would be a good idea to design two new original characters, making ceramic Christmas gifts for my sisters and brother. The face masks are an obvious reference to the current pandemic.

Newstead Abbey.

 

I find it hard to make something creative out of formal gardens. Hence converting my Newstead Abbey observations to moonlight.

Thoresby Park.

  I have decided the best days for a stroll around my favourite Dukery sites are those which threaten rain showers and deter the public. I had the place almost totally to myself today.
