hello friends!
First I have to apologise to many of you as you have been in touch both here in the comments and privately saying that the link I provided yesterday did not work. I don't know what the problem is and I can't do anything about it it's one of those little foibles of Blogger. Some of you have said the links are leading you on to other blogs, some of you have said they just don't work, and in my case when I click on them they're taking me back to draughts of other blogs that I haven't published yet. All I can reiterate is that it's not my fault it's obviously something with Blogger so consequently I won't be sharing anymore links.
Here are the pictures from today's Advent calendar.
and here is a picture that I have taken after scouring the image for any clues as to the purpose of the key we found the other day. And here it is, a key very well hidden in the foliage and branches of the image. It's got to be for something hasn't it? Curiouser are and curiouser.
I think most of not all of you will be familiar with the work of Edith Holden, the famous illustrator of several books, most notably the Edwardian Lady Country Diary books published in the 1980s which propelled her to new found fame. She met a tragic end at the age of 49 in 1920, when she fell into the River Thames at Kew while gathering buds from chestnut trees. Her name lives on in her lovely magical gentle works that record nature, both flora and fauna.
I recently came across this little children’s book called The
Hedgehog Feast which is illustrated by her, And written by Rowena Stott. I hope
you enjoy the couple of images I have selected from it.
Until next time
Stay well, stay safe, stay warm
