Todays Class -Sat 10th Nov

We had a lovely laid back class today- ''Mrs Subtle'' and Chris from Hadnall Wi came along with Mrs Subtle's (Jean) daughter in law Joe. We had met Jean and Chris a few months ago when we did a class in Chris's conservatory!!!

It was a tad cooler than when we had met before---I swear I lost several lb's that day!!!

Anyway, we got stuck in to 'tropical summer day'' and it wasn't long before we had some exciting skies going on !

Joe (pictured above signing her first masterpiece) who was a first timer told me she had done a fine arts degree, but found this more fun and she was learning how to actually paint a picture, she really enjoyed her day.

The time flew by and before we knew it we were finished.The palm trees went very well, everyone was surprised at how easy they were with the fan brush.

Sharleen got chatting to the other ladies and found they had mutual friends via her dog training classes--it sure is a small world.

Sharleen has also kindly offered us the use of her business premises for classes in the Telford area. Straight away the 3 ladies booked up for a class, which means that with Sharleen there are only 2 places left for ''The Birch Trees'' on Feb 9th.

The students went away with canvas's and brushes to carry on at home,

I am going to sit down tomorrow and get the dates sorted out for next year-after going to the boot sale that is!!!

Apothecary's Guest House

I have got to recommend staying at the guest house we were at in Wellesbourne.Its called Apothecaary's -The Old Dispensary, Straford Road , Wellesbourne, Warick CV 35 9 RN tel 01789 470060
It was the best nights sleep we have had in a long time! The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in!!!
The room was spotless and comfortable, and Jenny our hostess couldnt have been nicer.
After we had unpacked in the aftenoon, she directed to a great pub that did meals just up the road from there-The Kings Arms--another old place which seeped history.We had a beautiful meal of gammon,pineapple, egg,peas and chips there! I know the diets gone out of the window again!!!
After that we went and did the demo at the fire station for the art society.Then back to the guest house to relax.
The next morning we went down to the beautiful oak beamed dining room,with wood burner, to find some fresh orange juice and chunks of fresh pineapple awaiting us. After that came the full english-all freshly cooked and sourced localy. It was absolutley beautiful.
we will definatly be stopping there again, most relaxing and homely.
