Happy new year! Here's a catch-up video! We visited Oxford for a long weekend just before Christmas; enjoyed looking around the Christmas market; had a tour of the Town Hall and looked around the museum of Oxford. We also did the tour of Christ Church College (part of Oxford University) and saw a Harry Potter filming location (There are more in my visiting Lacock video if you're interested in those); and Oxford Cathedral. We spent Sunday afternoon visiting the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Oxford Natural History Museum. On our way home we stopped at the beautiful ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, and had a stroll around the very pretty village of Turville - home of Vicar of Dibley; Miss Marple; and is the filming location for several Midsomer Murders, Marple, Morse, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Killing Eve. We have our Christmas holidays - a walk in the magical forest on Christmas Eve, and spending time with the family. I share my modern still life mixed media art, and lastly, I take you on a Somerset cider country Wassail! What is a Wassail? You'll find out!

Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings! My last vlog of 2022! Here's our visit to Lacock in Wiltshire, and looking around Lacock Abbey. We also go to Whitehall Garden centre for a bit of Christmas decor shopping and to see the festive displays. And I had a few requests for a proper look at my Christmas decorations around the house, so here's a tour of most of them. (I actually forgot about the fun Christmas tree in the hall, so perhaps I'll add that into a January vlog!) I hope you have a lovely Christmas or other celebrations. Thank you so much for your company this year. See you in 2023! Take care. x As always, thank you so much for watching and spending your time with me!

A studio vlog where I organise and sort out all the art and craft supplies from my recent haul video. I love finding little containers for everything! I use the Tim Holtz distress oxide sprays and Caran D'ache 2 water soluble crayons, along with gouache and inktense pencils to create a mixed media painting of Scotney Castle. I also pack up some handmade Christmas gifts I've made and sold. By the way, I'm doing Vlogmas on YouTube shorts, if you'd like a little snippet of what I'm getting up to each day in December!
