People who are coming on the holidays this year at Alison House in Cromford will have received a newsletter from me and an update. I am really looking forward to the first holiday in June, not least because perhaps we will have warmer, kinder weather by then!

I’ve been looking at White Hellebores as it doesn’t seem possible to have them there in the garden and not to paint them. Here’s what I came up with.
