Madz Start Her Tour

Maddy does like a small red wine. She'll find herself testing a variety of tastes and temperatures over the next few days.

Its coming along.

This is the latest pic of the summer house. Its not actually rushing to completion but its heading that way. Worryingly its starting to look like a sauna I once visited.

Wow what a ceiling

I've done a fab job on this ceiling. It a hex cut wooden masterpiece. I just need the centre piece finished. I'm hoping that a bloke I heard of in Italy will give me a hand. He was a painter and decorator who specialsed in ceilings he was called Michael something or other.

Snow Duck

The very talented Mrs Cottrell crafted this stunning Snow Duck from the very snow from which it took its named.

Somerset in the Snow.

This is picturesque Somerset. Covered in a soft white blanket of snow. All is quiet and peaceful. Unlike the usual flooded muddy puddle that surrounds Cottrell towers.
