A big thank you to Karen Neale and everyone who attended her sketching workshop last week! It's wonderful to see the changing season at Clare Cottage captured in everyone's sketches. As you can see, the weather treated us well and brought lots of vibrant colour to the afternoon.

We hope to welcome Karen back again soon 🍂
