A few weekends ago I went to stay in the littlest castle you've ever seen. Well, it was actually a renovated summer house, but it's been beautifully renovated by the Landmark Trust, and it looks like a castle, so that's good enough for me...
It's up near Carlisle, and the weather held out for us, so we walked in the mud, got chased by cows, and watched salmon leaping in the river.
I loved the antiques that filled the house, and spent time drawing some of them. This jug is my favourite.
We also went to see Hadrian's wall, and I fell in love with the land all around.
