Clifton Artists day at Gatcombe

It is a wonderful sunny day at Gatcombe Court and there are many easels dotted around the grounds. The roses are in full bloom as is the campanula so a lot of colour. Some very recognisable drawings of the house, herb garden and yew hedge are emerging from the group. We are being visited by the Clifton Artists and they could not have chosen a better day. In the last few days we have been seeing migrant butterflies on the chive flowers in the herb garden a good thing that the artists have cameras as butterflies are not the best sitters.
