a life of love, laughter and success
We paid a visit to our neck of the woods, The Yorkshire Sculpture Park http://www.ysp.co.uk to drop off my new collection which will be soon available online and in store.
We viewed work of the great twentieth century artist Isamu Noguchi, strolled across fields full of sheep and sculptures and contemplated life as we looked up to the sky scape in James Turrell's deer shelter.
We hung our wish upon the tree for a life of love, laughter and success!

North Bradbury Farm
Hi we are home!
Yet again another relaxing time was had by all on the farm in North Devon. The children had fun collecting the eggs from the chickens everyday and feeding all their reacquainted animal friends. Lots of bouncing,tractor riding and lazy days on the beach were spent by all. A great vacation, see you again next year Pudding the pony!
