Swindon Open Studios: Welcoming People to Swindon Open Studios
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2015/08/welcoming-people-to-swindon-open-studios.html
Friday, 14 August 2015. Welcoming People to Swindon Open Studios. This year we've tried to address a couple of issues identified over the years. Firstly that we don't advertise enough in the local media, with four large articles in the Swindon Advertiser, and more to come, I'm pleased with efforts we've made there. It was largely down to Liz Mackley at the Adver who got things moving for us, and of course the very talented people who are taking part in SOS. Next article was about Christopher Delni-Offord.

Swindon Open Studios: January 2015
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 January 2015. The GWR Carriage Works, Water Tower and UTC. There couldn't really be a greater contrast between the Swindon Designer Outlet, a shopping complex built within the disused Swindon railway engine works. And the former Carriage and Wagon works. Built in 1868, and on the opposite side of Station Road to the railway village, the Carriage Works are still waiting for new life to be breathed into them, by finding a role in the twenty first century. The outside of the building:. And besi...

Swindon Open Studios: February 2015
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 February 2015. Snowdrop Mania at Colesbourne Park. I made my first visit to the magnificent Colesbourne Park yesterday, quite unprepared for the scale of the park, and numbers of different varieties of snowdrops growing in huge drifts. There's a well labelled path through the grounds taking the visitor through woodland, beside the blue lake, to the churchyard and the walled garden where you'll find smaller clumps of snowdrops, identified by good sized, clear labels. Above G.'James Backhous...

Swindon Open Studios: December 2014
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 December 2014. My Favourite Route to Avebury. It was sunny and crisply frosty this morning, perfect for a walk to Avebury. I have a favourite route involving very little traffic, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. From Swindon, walking by Croft Woods and down the path beside the entrance to the golf course, across the motorway and up Ladder Lane, an old drover's route to Marlborough:. Past the ancient beech tree, now felled, and turn left onto the Barbury Castle road by Halcrow. It's ...

Swindon Open Studios: June 2015
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 June 2015. Photos of the Garden at Oare House. Oare House was open this afternoon from 2-6pm for the NGS. So what attracted attention this time? The first glimpse of the view from the driveway is breath taking, but I didn't take a photo of that, preferring the first view of the garden:. And on the left of this walkway, a small fountain. And some gorgeous Hostas, this was particularly attractive. Then outside one of the side doors, a pair of Daturas. And a fab P. Lord Bute. Another area of the ...

Swindon Open Studios: Marlborough Open Studios Visit
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2015/08/marlborough-open-studios-visit.html
Saturday, 1 August 2015. Marlborough Open Studios Visit. It's fascinating to have a look round another open studios, and Marlborough Open Studios. Being our closest one, thought it would be good to visit. Jane and I went on the third weekend, and it would be good to have published this piece then so people could have visited the studios mentioned, now you will have to wait until 2016, a holiday got in the way of blogging. I loved the driftwood boats and beach scene, examples of which are seen below in.

Swindon Open Studios: Dream Place to Live
http://swindonopenstudios.blogspot.com/2015/08/dream-place-to-live.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. Dream Place to Live. Much recommended Crofton Lock House. Was open for the NGS today, so I thought I'd take a break and have a look at it. The house is reached via turning right in Great Bedwyn when coming from Marlborough, then taking a right turn and traveling beside the canal for a bit, parking up by an old Roman road, crossing the railway line and canal:. Walking along the beside the canal along the towpath for a few minutes, and. Here's the inside of the studio. Mill Dene and ...
