Just a quick update.
🕑 Added 2020-07-09 09:24:04 +0000 UTCHello to all my wonderful patrons.
Last week was quite a difficult one for me so I wasn’t able to post anything for you as planned.
Monday I lost another dog due to health complications, Bobbie was 10 years old and I loved him very much. We buried him under the great cedar tree next to his little friend Lola who passed 6 weeks ago.
More sad news as we discovered Gwendoline’s father is terminally ill and doesn’t have much time left so the week went from bad to worse.
Also while filming the château of Angers I forgot to turn on the microphone so there is no sound so I am having to record voiceover for the video instead.
Although on a slightly better note we have made good progress in the gardeners cottage so you will see this in tomorrow’s video, and the next patron video will be up as soon as I have finished editing.
I just want you all to know that I haven’t forgotten you and your support is appreciated so much.
Normal service will resume ASAP.
All the patron cards and prints have been ordered so the massive task of writing and posting them all will start soon. I will give an update soon on the schedule of which ones will be sent out first and what you can expect.
Once again thank you so much for your support and thank you for your patience.
I’ve also put one of my artworks on here as a little preview of some of the things that I love to paint. This one is the heron I see very often on the château lake.
All the best

Truly difficult and sad times, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Gwendolyn as well, it's so hard to lose a parent (both of mine have passed some years ago now). A beautiful piece of art, thank you for posting it.
Oh, wow. I was just able to join and this is the first I'm hearing of Lola AND Bobbie. I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I know I'm late saying so but I'm still missing my Dad's dog I bought for him. I had to put him down in 2019, nearly a year ago. Also, Gwen's father, on top of everything? I'm so glad you have each other to lean on. xx
