In Cumbrian dialect, 'hollin' is holly
During the winter months holly is brought into the home to protect it from malevolent faeries, or allow benevolent ones to shelter therein without friction with the human hosts

I was on a road trip in Italy when I parked the van in the middle of the night on top of a cliff in Umbria. This is my memory of what I saw in the early morning when I woke up...

A 'hob-thross' lived in Millom Castle. He slept by the fire during the day, and worked all night, doing the chores the humans didn’t want to do. One harsh winter he was offered clothes, a terrible insult to a hob-thross, so he left!

The village of 'Dragley Beck', now part of Ulverston, is the birthplace of Sir John Barrow, English statesman, and one of the founders of the Royal Geographical Society. It gets it's name from the dragon that legend says, sleeps underneath it.

Starting to add details to this oil portrait, that dress is vintage Berketex & is going to keep me busy😂 #oilpainting #oilportrait #portrait #wip #cumbrianartist #🧡 #realism #painting #art #Cumbria
But, like the lonely snowman, I can still enjoy the view!
And with our access to stunning scenery on Ynys Môn (Anglesey) and in Cumbria (the setting for the Lonely Snowman), as well as in Cheshire, that feels like a privilege as well as a joy!

Memories of Cumbria. Felix and Oscar. Hidden away together in the middle of the middle of Penrith Beacon. A bit of a favourite.

Northumbrian print maker.
She’s a popular artist. I found this one at the Biscuit Factory Gallery in Newcastle . It’s more than a gallery as good food is available too.
