I had thought about drawing wedding flowers for years. But sat on the idea, uncertain whether it was an idea that people would want. 

And then, in 2021 I saw this photo of Katie showing her wilted wedding bouquet, which she had taken on honeymoon with them and it galvanised me into action!

Last week I spent the day at Attingham Park (National Trust property, gardens and parkland) near Shrewsbury. Mainly in the Walled Garden which is looking amazing. 

I've been planning on doing this for ages - visiting to draw the species in bloom at different times of year. Finally, I did it.

Last Friday it was my birthday! To celebrate we hired a canoe and went down the River Wye from Glasbury to Whitney. 

We took lots of snacks, and the spaniel and it was a lovely stretch of river. The wind was with us so it was very easy going. So easy that I managed to fit in two quick sketches.
