I fell head over heels into your blog after first finding your etsy shop.
You have lifted my spirit and warmed my soul as I live in a northern snow covered woodsy place as well and I was feeling rather blue and not appreciating the season the way you do.
It was hard to choose but your painting Picking Up Sticks tugs at my heartstrings as it reminds me of my dear mother who I have been thinking about a lot lately as her simple little gold wedding band that I wore on my pinky decided to remove itself from my finger the other day while I was out and about.

What a delight it has been to discover your blog (through PG also - although I have been a lover of your etsy shop for a short wee while). How lovely to see the snow in your imgages - I am missing Scotland terribly at the moment - my family take great delight in telling me of the snow they have and I cannot help but be slightly envious!

Wishing you a wonderful year for 2008 and very much looking forward to reading more of your blog.

What a wonderfully strange world you live in.
I love your illustrations - so evocative of a lost childhood world of magic and mystery.
All best wishes from Morocco

Thanks to everyone for lovely words :) It is still snowy here :)
Sara... yes I have a few but they are the last dog-eared ones! If you want one that's been on display then you are welcome to it ... email me at rima@the-hermitage.org.uk
Cheers Rima

Hello Rima, I followed Elizabeth from Morocco here. I have been visiting in Michigan, US, and your weather looks the same as that of MI. Cold and snowy. I live in Southern California, but my geneology shows me I have Irish and Scottish ancestors. I would love to visit Scotland--in the summer!

I discovered you right about the time you were starting to pack up the house for your adventure as nomads. I fell in love with your blog then and now I have started at the beginning and am working my way to your current post which was about being in Dartmoor. Entranced!!!
