Another John Hassall design which I started on 1st November

PS I thought the name Summer Place was familiar but couldn't think why until I realised I was humming 'There's a Summer Place'. A popular tune from way back when!

Such a beautiful cottage and a nice start! I especially like the poppies in the foreground.

Now you have started me off There's a Summer Place - darn it. Oh well I will survive and just have to superimpose another tune over it.

A really good start on another lovely row of cottages. Well Done.

Thank you Sally.

I forgot to say when I commented on the yarn your friend gifted you, how lovley it will be for you when you've had your eye sorted out. So much nicer for you to see clearly.

That is a beautiful start and I don't think I know the song, so the ear worm is not here in VT :)

That's because you are too young to remember the movie.
