Here’s my summer newsletter. I am shutting up shop for a month from 20th June to 20th July. All going well, we will be safely installed and open for business (online at least) in Donegal by mid-July. I am already longing to get back to my painting routine. I can’t quite believe that after being ground so long by my broken leg and the pandemic that we will actually move house/studio to another country by then. It’s a huge step! Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly!

Everybody loves the Georgian Houses It seems like certain styles never go out of fashion. Last year Georgian-style houses topped a poll of the most popular home styles. I suspect that people like scale of the house as well as the the pillars and generous sized windows. Nothing says lord of the manor like a […]
Northern Ireland’s Tourism is very impressive. At Whiterocks Beach, just along from Portrush, there is not one, not two but three small carparks and a public toilets which are all free to use. What’s more, there’s another car parks specially for horses and their horseboxes. I will point out though, that there is height restriction […]

I spent almost a month in the Cotswolds visitng with my parents recently and had a bit of time to explore. They live near Stroud which TV programmes like “Escape to the Country ” tell me is the “poorer part of the Cotswolds”. I think “poor” may well be in the eye of the beholder. […]
enjoy your time, emma )
Thank you, Beth
“… painting … of walls and woodwork.” Sounds like as much fun as my painting (sealing) of our asphalt driveway for this past week. 😉
Yes, its the sort of stuff usually avoid!!
Best wishes for a move that is as stress free as possible@
Thank you Leueen, it’s been pretty stressful today! I think we are just very tired and the clock is ticking!
The move will be over before you know it Emma. Best wishes for a smooth transition into your new home base.
Thank you, Pam. Its all very hectic at the moment!
Will be awaiting posts from Donegal…hope all goes perfectly well!
Thank you, Alli.
I’m sure it’s a good decision, when Your spirit captures Donegal you have to follow its guidance. We came her 7 years ago and despite today’s gloomy weather we are in seventh heaven Adh mor ☘️
That’s good to hear Maureen, we certainly need Adh Mor!
You actually should change the title to Spring/Summer Newsletter. With your leg and Covid this move is going to take a lot out of you while your still recuperating! So that time schedule may need to be revised?
I’m sure you’ll hit the beach maybe not running but doing a fantastic hop and drag dance!
You are probably right, Wayne!
all this upheaval will be good in the end for you Emma. I bet it’ll help expend your creative horizons!
creativity always demands BST (blood,sweat and tears)
Yes, I certainly need new horizons. Lovely though the Gower is, I need new challenges.
cosmic irony in that statement Emma……..just like all the birds right now you are like a new born coming out of your Gower shell.
