Bourne Hall Craft Fair

This is my stand at the Bourne Hall Craft Fair in November. Lots of interest in my work and some good card sales. The cards in front of the card stand are original paintings mounted on cards and they were very popular. The painting of the purple crocus’ was also bought as a birthday present.

Sulphur Tuft Fungi

These poisonous fungi are common in woodland and are found growing on tree stumps, dead roots and the decaying bark of broadleaf trees.
