Excited that I've signed up to Worcestershire Open Studios in August. Slightly nervous as we've building work going on and there is a race between the study being finished (new external doors, bay window, steps, decorating) and being 'display ready' so to speak. Well, there's always the corridor and stairs!

Went to London in the week and saw two exhibitions: The first was Wes Anderson; The Archives at the Design Centre, which was fabulous - so good seeing workbooks, props, costumes and models etc. The second was the Constable/Turner exhibition at the Tate Britain, which was absolutely incredible - so inspiring!

Visit to Rollright Stones

And a try at dowsing!
15/06/2014
I love the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire and have visited them many times. I find them very atmospheric, very peaceful in spite of the fact that they're not as large and dramatic as some other stone circles. This visit I was lucky enough to arrive just in time to try out dowsing, which I've always wanted to have a go at! The warden was there, with rods for visitors to try (and buy as well, along with guide books and so on) and explained how to hold them and how to centre yourself first....and it worked!

I walked around the circle (more than once) and at certain points the rods crossed rather dramatically! Can't wait to try them again in Derbyshire at Arbor Low in Derbyshire next weekend.

I took several infrared photos at Rollright and I'm looking forward to processing those in Photoshop!
