Thank-you to The Milk House!

Very happy to sell this painting at the weekend through The Milk House in Sissinghurst, an inviting contemporary restaurant, bar and hotel, a stones throw away from Sissinghurst Castle Gardens.

My clients explained to me how they found the restaurant through a local eateries app, and then came for lunch to see the artwork!

gathering inspiration

I was away last week walking and cycling in beautiful Pembrokeshire. It has some of the most stunning coastpaths which are protected by the National Trust. Definitely an inspiring few days.

 It's also the home of some wonderful local businesses. We visited Hiut Denim in Cardigan, the factory unit is fascinating....and I love my new jeans! We also had coffee at the coolest bakery in Wales, Bara Menyn. Not only do they make delicious bread, they serve up a mean lunch or baked treat. We always pop into Melin Tregwynt too, a place full of the history of the area, a working weaving factory, and beautiful and sturdy contemporary Welsh rugs to buy.
