Dear All I am sad to announce that my website will disappear in a few weeks. My site provider has decided to almost triple my fee's. Quite simply the website doesn't generate enough income to justify the extra cost. I'm even sadder to say that my mailing list will disappear with the site. I need to say goodbye to you as this will be my last post, Ive enjoyed talking to you, some of you for nearly 20 years. However all is not lost, I have resurrected an old blog, so this will be my new on-line presence. It will be a bit more chatty than this blog, which I have always felt needed to be more gr ..read more

Good morning I have two of exciting new drawings ready to buy as prints. They are both artist maps one of Lynton and one of Lynmouth. The prints are available in 3 sizes, A3, A2 & A1, all are + prints meaning they have a 1 inch border so are slightly bigger than the normal A sizes.

The drawings are also available as greetings cards, which you can find HERE along with a new card ve ..read more
