BAck after a few months

Too busy since May enjoying life, workshops, holidays, alterations have got in the way of posts.  I hope to make up for that in the next few weeks.
The alterations to my kitchen have been the biggest delay but it’s not complete yet.  The latest pictures below.

A few bits for the builder to complete before the decorator arrives.

I returned from the Lake District last week after 5 days of stitching and drawing at Rydal Hall.  13 of us had a productive week, the weather was kind to us most of the week and I visited Grasmere twice and walked into Ambleside one day to stretch my legs as my back was aching after 2.5 days sitting stitching.  I challenged Richard to draw each day, after he said he had given up on his resolution to sketch for 10 minutes daily,  this helped both of us to focus.
