I can't believe its a month nearly since I last blogged :(
But i'm not apologising......... nope.......well....... maybe just a little sorry ok?
I have spent most of today at my parents house & while I was there I spotted the pen drawing I did of the house that used to stand where their housing estate was built. Claremont house was old & gone to ruin and I remember seeing chickens in the uncared-for garden as a child when we sneaked a peek over the fence! The photo I copied to make the sketch was in an old local paper (I wish I still had it)
It must have been a beautiful house when it was cared for originally & such a shame that it had to go but the land it was sitting on was far more valuble as building land so it was sold to a developer sometime in the 1970's (?) & my parents moved there in 1986.
.
This was sketched in 1998 - obviously before I found scrapbooking/blogging/facebook!!!!
Be back soon xx
