		<title>Mankell’s Wallander</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a lot. Mostly books about things. Mostly things like natural history. I hardly ever read fiction. So it comes as a surprise to me to find myself engrossed in a crime fiction series by Swedish writer Henning Mankell featuring detective Kurt Wallander of the Ystad police.
I first stumbled across Wallander in the British [...]]]></description>

		<title>Work in progress: map of Woodstock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been so busy since I last blogged, with work, life, family, reading and watching Big Brother; but during the bits in between I’ve been working on my map of Woodstock,  the third in my map series. Woodstock has so much history and so many outstanding buildings that compressing it all into a sheet on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Map of Stanton Harcourt and Sutton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I so enjoyed making my map of Eynsham last month, I thought I&#8217;d have a crack at the beautiful neighbouring villages of Stanton Harcourt and Sutton, where my family live. Click on the map to enlarge it.
I have emphasised the natural history of the place, as well as the many gorgeous historic buildings, ancient cottages [...]]]></description>

		<title>Map of Eynsham</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To amuse myself while recovering from a trapped nerve, I thought I would do a little gentle doodling in the form of a hand-drawn map of Eynsham, the village where I live. Click on the map to enlarge it.
It’s my Eynsham and my drawing, so I make no apology for it not being to scale.
It’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cornbury festival 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cornbury Park lies deep within the gently beautiful bucolic landscape of west Oxfordshire. On the first weekend in July each year it opens its doors and throws a rather splendid, laid-back, family-friendly music festival: Cornbury.  We went for just the Sunday.
The Blockheads
We’d seen The Blockheads live before but I couldn’t wait to see them again! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter hare Christmas card</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I  have painted a new design for a Christmas card, &#8216;Winter hare&#8217;. Gratifyingly secular and with lovely strong colours to brighten up a dull grey winter&#8217;s day, I really hope you like it!
I now need to  estimate how many to get printed. If you like the design and  you think you might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doctor Who and Vincent van Gogh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just don’t get Doctor Who, the much-loved BBC TV series. However, I was curious about this weekend’s episode because it featured as its central character Vincent van Gogh, who regular readers will know is a particular favourite of mine. So I watched it.
I suspected that actor Tony Curran would make a rather good Vincent [...]]]></description>

		<title>We and Jimmy Page spellbound by Roy Harper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s three years ago since I first saw Roy Harper, the singer-songwriter folk rock guitarist. Everything I said about him in the blog I wrote after that gig still stands. The man’s a genius. As well as being very, very funny.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to stand up for the whole gig at the [...]]]></description>

As well as regular visitors, friends and family from all over the UK, I was privileged to welcome into our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artweeks continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a really busy weekend welcoming a  total of 88 visitors to my exhibition we&#8217;re knackered (and hot)! That&#8217;s not a bad figure for an obscure artist in a little house tucked away in a small village! So many terrifically interesting people turned up; friends, family, families of friends, fellow-villagers, repeat visitors and lots [...]]]></description>
