   Snowdrops and Aconites are appearing in some sheltered spots around the colleges and riverbanks.These are the first signs of spring and will gradually spread into large groups until they are replaced by crocuses and wind flowers.

As Dreams Unfold

Inspite of freezing cold weather two attractive models posed for our life drawing class this week.
This was a romantic scene and made me think about St Valentine's day which is not far away now.

SNOWFALL

We woke up to heavy snow falling this morning .As soon as it eased of a little there were dozens of happy children off to play in the snow and taking sledges to Castle Hill .Happily it is Sunday morning and there is no school.
