We've had the winter frosts although no snow this year and now head into springtime.  At present I'm busy preparing for an exhibition of my work which will be held May 23rd - 24th Chipping Campden Baptist Church, which is situated in the corner of the square in the centre of the town.  About 75 framed pictures will be on show together with greeting cards and unframed work.  There will be a seating area and tea, coffee and cake or biscuits available giving everyone chance to browse through the books of my other works.  I hope you will be able to come, and look forward to meeting you.

First an apology for the delay in putting up this post.  Work has been hectic with lots of people wanting pictures as Christmas presents.  There have also been lots of seasonal events. There was 'The Spirit of Christmas' which involved traders and organisations in the High Street.  There were horse and carriage rides, pig roast, circus entertainers, carol service in the Market Hall, the children's nativity and stalls.  A good evening enjoyed by all.  A few pictures giving the flavour below.

We are now into Autumn with the leaves changing colour  The farmers are busy ploughing in the stubble from harvest.  It is also time for the ploughing chanmpionships.  We recently visited the Faringdon vintage ploughing championships and had a very enjoyable day.

St James Church is hosting a flower festival.  A really stunning spectacle and worth a visit.  Open Friday 24th until Tuesday 28th

Below a few pictures of events as they unfolded.

The gardens are looking very lush at present, probably due to all the rainfall we've been experiencing.  Yesterday we visited nearby Mill Dene Gardens at Blockley which has a sculpture exhibition.  A very enjoyable morning even though we had to shelter from a sudden downpour!
