My darling guardians were most fortunate to receive an invitation to the delightful gallery, gift and bookshop, Number Seven, in Dulverton for a book signing by Catherine Hyde; an artist and writer they enjoy. 'Tis always a little dangerous for my lady guardian to be invited to galleries and private viewings for she is inordinately fond of art, colour, textiles and the written word, in addition to nature and the seasons; why our little home is most definitely testament to this habit of hers. What a glorious display of art, books and wares did greet them on their arrival, as well as the usual warm welcome by the proprietors'. Today's visit was all the more delightful to be able to meet the artist and writer. Sadly my male guardian came away a "tad" poorer than he arrived, his pocket book somewhat lighter for his pains. The only problem is to find somewhere suitable to display their fine purchases to my lady guardian's satisfaction.
To reach their destination, my guardians travelled across country through some of the most stunning scenery resplendent in the varying shades of autumn; red, gold, yellow, green and amber glowed in the autumn sunshine. The River Barle sparkled in the sunshine as they approached their destination, with a few hardy souls upon the water. Dulverton really is a most delightful place to visit with quite the most sensible of country establishments to satisfy one and make it suitable for local and visitor alike. My guardians have a soft spot for this delightful place, not least because of its position nestled in its stunning surroundings.
A drop of temperature by approximately three degrees is all it has taken to paint our beautiful country in its autumn finery. If you do nought else, take some time to appreciate the glory of nature at its finest before winter enchroaches as my dear guardians will continue to do. One has to admit however of taking the opportunity to catch up on some much needed napping, for one must ensure a full eighteen to twenty hours of sleep to be at one's glittering finest, do you not agree, dear friends?
