New Pencils
Ahhh, bliss, a new batch of pencils has arrived for my suede pencil rolls and suede pencil pouches.

Shropshire Road Trip
We’ve been living in Shropshire for nearly a year now and thought it was about time that we ventured a little further a field from our usual weekend jaunts. We acually made it south of the M54 for a change! We started out in Bridgnorth, a fab place high up on a hill over the Severn. There was a really busy…

Horsin’ around
A sure sign that summer is on it’s way – the young horses are back in the field outside my office window at home. They arrived in the field a few days ago, but yesterday was the first time that they made their way down to ‘our’ end of the field. I’m not much of a horse person – never…
