Early September in the moors treads the cusp of late summer and early autumn. In the fields, ochres and mustards…

There's a second Springtime in the moors in early August.

Double doors of our studio open, the warm summer moorland wind playing in the trees, the distinctive scent of marigolds and celery wafting into our studio from the cottage garden…

It all begins with an idea.
