I thought I’d branch out a little from the standard photography/sewing/crochet/tatting routine (oh dear, is it really that many things?) and try my hand at some drawing.

Those who have been reading this blog know about our little decorating adventure this summer. We spent about 3 months stripping paint, sanding floors and painting.

I’m living in a house occupied, at various times by office holders of the RSCDS, a Scottish Country Dance musician of international repute (CDs can be bought here) and two international teachers of Scottish Country Dance and Scottish Step and Highland dancing and yet, the only tartan [...]
