I have been getting on with the cake illustrations. They want 5 textile pieces and this is the third.
Chocolate cake.
Polenta cake
Apricot tea bread.
Trying to prolong our holiday feeling and make the most of the Autumn sunshine between rainfall, we have had a couple of NT days out. This is Dryham Park, near Bath. It is being used in 'Sanditon' as the wealthy lady's house but with the Bath backdrop painted out and sea added behind, which makes us laugh!
Look for the deer on the skyline.
And back to our local house Newark Park because the cyclamen spreading under the horse chesnut trees are amazing. An American took over the house when it was falling to pieces and saved it. He was a keen gardener too and planted lots of trees and bulbs. Now the National Trust look after it and an army of volunteers care for the beautiful gardens.
You "cake collection" is coming along famously and you are so fortunate to live near by so many NT properties. I enjoyed visiting them as well while I was in England and Wales.
