Thanks very much for the nice comments Freckle and HHH, I am touched and appreciate you taking time to have a look at my work. It is the arts festival in Masham this week and the reason why I am not getting time to post on this brilliant thread but we did have 'Poems and a Pint' today and I've discovered that Masham is the home of some really great poets. I'll post one later today after Feasting with the Peace Artistes!Quote:

That is really bizarre...a lady at my printmaking workshop said the very same thing yesterday. She said it is called Lady Hill and that the trees there are scots pines. I am going to go and take a look. This print is from about 8 years ago and inspired by various clumps of trees on iron age hill forts.Quote:

Call Out the Mountain Rescue
a poem by Pam Ayres
Call out the Mountain Rescue!
I came up for a lark,
But the night is getting chilly,
And the fells are getting dark,
My shoe's lost its stiletto heel,
My frock is feeling thin,
Call out the Mountain Rescue,
And let's get taken in.
Call out the Mountain Rescue!
Let them search the hills and vales,
Swathed in ropes and cables,
Like a team of Chippendales,
Release the search and rescue dogs!
They'll find me by smell,
I ate a Kendal Mint Cake,
And I'm wearing my Chanel.
Call out the Mountain Rescue!
I am stranded on a crag,
My hairstyle's badly damaged
And I've snapped my shoulder bag,
I'm utterly exhausted,
Cannot move another inch,
So hail the helicopter
I am ready for the winch.
Call out the Mountain Rescue!
Wrap me warm and well
Lay me on a stretcher bed
And bear me down the fell.
Heal me with your tenderness,
Drench me with your sorrow,
Drop me off at home
I'll call you out again tomorrow.
