The Owl and the Pussycat

My Owl and Pussycat themed Owl for Minerva's Owls of Bath this summer, has been enjoying all the many visitors who have come to see him in Southgate Bath.

On Tuesday 14th August,  11am-1pm there will Children's Poetry Readings with Josh Seigal in Southgate. Including of course, 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear

The Little Owl,Cat, Wisteria and Cherry blossom featured on my owl are inspired by Japanese screen paintings. References to the 'honey and plenty of money' mentioned in the poem are hidden in a special way!

A sheep in the Cumbrian sun

It's lovely to see all the photos and kind comments from sheep spotters in Cumbria who are enjoying 'A Sheep in the Sun' on the GoHerdwick trail.

Sponsored by the Lingmoor Guest House , this ewe reminds people that Cumbria is a beautiful place all year round, and celebrates the owners finding their own perfect place in the sun in Windermere.

The Go Herdwick trail continues throughout the summer until 4th September. The ewes will then be auctioned to raise money towards the Calvert Trust's £1.3 million target to help redevelop the Old Windbrowe site in Keswick.
