Today's dose of beauty: Three illustrations for The Snow Queen by Helen Stratton (1867-1961). The daughter of a surgeon in the Indian military, she was born in Madhya Pradesh, trained in art in London, and spent most of her long, prolific life working in London and Bath.
Good gracious, it's cold here on Dartmoor today. I'm home waiting for the boiler repairman, hoping we'll have central heating & hot water again sometime in the foreseeable future. Tilly is tucked beside me for the warmth. Brrrr!
Today's dose of beauty: Thumbelina by WH Robinson.
The good news is that I've had my Covid booster jab. The bad news is that I feel like hell. I hope it passes quickly; our daughter is home and I don't want to be stuck in bed. With a new wave of Covid raging, who knows when we'll get to see her again...?
