Latest News from Treetops


We had some lovely snow this morning, enough to look pretty but not to cause chaos.

I am busy setting up for tomorrow's Watercolour Class, aptly titled Frosty Mornings!

On Friday, Sarah Whitaker joins us for Making the Most of Your Aga, which will be a really fun and interesting class.  Lots of new Aga owners and our regular Aga friends are coming.

Coming up we have a few Watercolour Classes with spaces:

Fresh Flowers - Still Life
Thursday 26 February

Rugged Scotland - A Landscape
Tuesday 3 March

Seascapes - Acrylics, Inks, Tissues
Thursday 12 March

The art days run from 9.30am to approximately 3pm and include all of your materials and lunch, it's a real treat of a day.  Small groups with a fun and attentive tutor called Claire.   Suitable for any levels of artist, so even if you haven't painted for a while, come and give it a go.  It costs £70 for a class and you will take home a finished painting.

After the storm ......


I'm pleased to say that after last night's storm, the garden at Treetops is pretty much intact.

Our large beautiful tree lost a few branches several years ago in heavy winds, but this morning it stood very tall and strong!

The only large branch down landed on the shed, I heard a large crack in the night, so knew something had come down.


I had a walk around the woods, which looked very autumnal with all the various shades of colour, it was a carpet of bracken.


The skies are now blue and all is still ......


(We were rather worried about the trees on the right, as they are HUGE and they do like to sway rather worryingly in high winds)!
