Of all the many people I’ve been writing about for my next book, #AnneofCleves has been by far the most enjoyable to explore. I was recently lucky to acquire this lovely copy of Holbein’s portrait of Anne. She’s scrubbed up rather well thanks to conservation by Francis Downing.

'Bathers at Low Tide, Sennen,' perfectly demonstrates the height of Laura Knight’s development in Cornwall and is part of a series of paintings she composed between 1915 and 1919.

But our year-round joy depends
On the cherished people in our lives,
Our family and friends.

Happy Thursday x

Snow-Flakes

Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.

Blue Winter
Winter uses all the blues there are.
One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow...

Northern Lights

A magnificent array of colours. Reds, greens, violets, blues,
A mystical curtain of bright celestial hues.

Have a lovely Thursday

I Think we all value kindnes

I love the Christmas-time, and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give.
