ST MICHAEL’S: Barbara Valentine writes: “At our Mountfield Community Arts classes last term, we raised £192.00 for St Michael’s Hospice by selling plants and having occasional raffles. I didn’t pay the money in straight away as I was waiting for the Crowhurst Village Fayre where I do quick portraits every year to raise money for the Hospice. That was on the 12th and I had a lovely time. A brother and sister, aged about 10 and 13, had their portraits painted for the eighth year running. We raised £91.00 which, added to the money from the students, brings us up to £283.00 so far.

Hide AdMy next venue is the Rye and District Country Show on Saturday August 19th, from 10.00 till 4.00. It’s at Elm Tree Farm, Icklesham [TN36 4BH], and sounds like a lot of fun, with horse show, dog show and classic car show as well as stalls and attractions.
I hope that everyone local knows that they can phone me (01424 838264) to arrange to come and have a quick portrait done at the studio in exchange for a donation to the Hospice, and that I’m very happy to paint dogs as well as people.
