Cheltenham a Jewel in the Cotswolds

Just a small part of the Literary Festival

I've spent the last couple of months travelling. On my way back from France I joined a friend at the Cheltenham Literary Festival. It was my first ever visit to Cheltenham and I was literally blown away (forgive the pun).

I have never seen so many stunning buildings in one relatively small space. The place is full of fabulous individul shops 2 of which I will show you this week.

Take look for yourselves. I've captioned the images.

Nature's Little Gifts

When I'm asked where I get inspiration from I always reply - by looking up. Nature has a way of showing me how to put colours together. Hey it's been doing it al lot longer than I have.

Take for instance this phenomenon that often happens when the sun shines through a darkened sky. The colours take on a whole new look. As they say in the design world - they pop.

Don't be afraid of the dark.

Black with highlights of gold becomes vibrant

and jewel colours sing.

Chenonceau Chateau The Interior

A fireplace nearly as big as my cottage

Well where do I start? This is the most beautiful Chateau I have ever visited. It's somehow got a homely feel even though it's so palatial and the guide book easily imparts its information as you take it all in.

It's bright due to all the windows and is beautifully preserved.

I could go on forever about how fabulous it is but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves with an added caption here and there.
