Another week has flown by and I'm afraid my desk has seen very little crafty action this week.
We have been enjoying a few trips out, including a wine tasting visit to our local vineyard at Hencote.
It was an excellent tour of the vineyard and then we tasted some delicious wines. Who knew Shropshire has the perfect climate for wine making on the south facing slopes, on the northern side of Shrewsbury?
It has a wonderful restaurant with the most amazing views across the Shropshire hills. A real treat.
Yesterday I went with Max to take down her exhibition at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. There had been two long, full walls of her work in July but only a few pictures were left on one wall when we got there! She was mighty pleased with the results of her efforts.
This was one of her remaining pictures. It may end up on my wall if she doesn't want to save it for her local outlets 😃
So that's me for this week.
Have a good week all

That picture of Max’s is beautiful. I’m glad a Shropshire vineyard is doing well. Taitinger have started planting grapes for Champagne- style wine in Kent with global warming.
ReplyDeleteTake care and happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteWell done to Max with her sales, that is a gorgeous picture, perhaps it was meant for you! Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
ReplyDeleteWell done to Max (and to you for your hard work too!) I'm looking forward to her next release and I think that picture has your name on it! Best wishes, Lisa-Jane #11 https://www.prettymypage.co.uk
ReplyDeleteWell done to Max. Her work is always lovely and I'm not surprised it nearly all got sold.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the wine tasting. It is surprising where good grapes for wine making can be found in this country. Probably more than people think.
I still have the piece Max made that I bought via you, and it's up on our wall in the bathroom. Always makes me smile....
