Thursday, 25 December 2014. Czech out our Christmas Celebrations! This year saw a pretty international gathering for Christmas festivities at Wykes Manor, as the family were joined around the festive table by lodgers and house guests from Poland and the Czech Republic. We were also joined by Dora, from Hong Kong who booked a retreat with us over the Christmas period. This is the sight that greeted our eyes and cold, hungry bodies. More delights were to come! Do leave a comment if you can help! We are a f...

Tuesday, 2 December 2014. Hunter-Gatherers Hit The Lincolnshire Hedges. It's common knowledge now that we all need to dose up on vitamin C as the winter draws in. But it's not so well known that our humble English hedgerows actually provide a far better source of this winter supplement than your average orange!

MILES AND DACOMBE - FORWARD FOOTING. TRANSPORTED PROJECTS - THE ELOQUENT FOLD. Thursday, 31 July 2014. Crumbs From The word Table Completed. Under our title The Eloquent Fold Phiona Richards. And I collaborated together during Transported Open Book strand and created three sculptural structures which are a play on a conventional bird table. Each word table has been collaged with book papers and maps, from old and unloved books, books which were heading for the landfill. I made a set of blue and mauve.
