Mothering Sunday

I thought I would post a few pics of beautiful North Devon where I live. On Mothering Sunday 18^th March, my three lovely sons treated me and their Dad to Sunday lunch at the Red LionHotel in Clovelly.Clovelly is an unique historical fishing village which nests on a hill side -as you can see the houses here look like they are about to tumble down the hillside, how did the ladies cope all those years ago, walking up the steep cobbles wearing their crinoline dresses?

This wasn't taken by me on Mothering Sunday, obviously this is a summers day out at sea, but it does show off the village better.

We had a wonderful meal – all freshly cooked, I felt thoroughly pampered.  After the meal we stepped outside where I took a few photos, I found it quite amusing to see my youngest son waiting for me in his new car –

so I took him home and cooked him lunch, but that was ok, we had a lovely day.

  This shows how quickly the weather can change, it started off a beautiful sunny day - in this picture you can see the sea mist coming in.

Little family

Here is my little family just finished for a commission.  I hope they are ok as I didn’t have a photo to work from just a verbal description.  I had to do a bit of research to see what modern little girls are wearing at the moment ( I hope she approves as the specification was she is a pretty girlie girlie who likes dresses)  - I think she is a little helper by looking after her baby brother.   Anyway back to my period costumes for the time being.
