All has been a little quiet on my blog, mainly due to Goldsmith Fair in a few weeks time, and a flurry of making new work alongside the usual things in the studio. We did manage to escape last week for some culture and relaxation close to Lisbon, Portugal. Here are a few of the photos we took.

We had a wonderful view from the house. I really enjoyed watching the sunrise, having a cup of tea and reading my book before the rest of the town came alive.

One of the wonderful traditional shops in Lisbon.

Sintra, a hill top village. Very pretty and a lovely place to walk around. We had a romantic lunch in a small cafe which fueled the walk to the top.

And this was the view from the top!
