Jessie Lilac Blog

What a lovely sunny weekend we had here. Butterflies already!! The trees are still bare  but still so very beautiful. I took these photos on Sunday at Barrington Court in Somerset. I've been here once before where I blogged about it here . Last time I didn't see much of the house itself but on this occasion, every room was explored! I love these tile designs. There were quite a few bathrooms in the house, each with different tile designs. I love the archway and the old mullion style windows. This is a view through a lovely gate. I do like a nice gateway. :) **** So, without further ado, here are the winners of the giveaway! Jennifer is the winner of my Red Cat painting and Caris the winner of the Paisley girl. Congratulations to you both! :) Thankyou to everyone who took part. xx

Haven't we had amazing weather these easter Holidays? I've been out and about nearly every day and spent lazy warm days sat in the garden with my sketchbook. This isn't my garden by the way, it's at Barrington Court in Somerset. Orchards look so pretty this time of year don't they? Look at this tree! There's not a lot of it left but it still struggles on despite all odds! Twisty branches in the cow shed. And a lovely big beautiful tree spreading and reaching up to the sky. Some welcome splashy water on this hot day. Is it me or does this statue look as though he's flamenco dancing? Home again.
