“Dear Yvonne,
Thank you so much for the wonderful week I have just spent with you in your beautiful summer home. You made Maggie and I feel so welcome and your patience with us was exemplary! Speaking for myself, I was amazed at how much I learnt in such a short time about water colour and acrylic painting – I am thrilled to bits with the works I brought home and am now planning where to hang them. Family and friends have been equally impressed, appreciating the help and advice I must have received. With your talent and delightful nature I am sure your enterprise will go from strength to strength – I am certainly spreading the word at this end! ……………. Warmest wishes, Eliz” (Edinburgh, Scotland)
