Thursday, 25 December 2014. Czech out our Christmas Celebrations! This year saw a pretty international gathering for Christmas festivities at Wykes Manor, as the family were joined around the festive table by lodgers and house guests from Poland and the Czech Republic. We were also joined by Dora, from Hong Kong who booked a retreat with us over the Christmas period. This is the sight that greeted our eyes and cold, hungry bodies. More delights were to come! Do leave a comment if you can help! We are a f...

Tuesday, 2 December 2014. Hunter-Gatherers Hit The Lincolnshire Hedges. It's common knowledge now that we all need to dose up on vitamin C as the winter draws in. But it's not so well known that our humble English hedgerows actually provide a far better source of this winter supplement than your average orange! Yep, the rosehip, all that's left of the delicate wild roses that bloom so sweetly near us in summer. So, wrapped up warmly, we braved the thorns to fill our baskets with these native superheroes.

Wednesday, 11 February 2015. Dear people, please forgive the long silence. Here followeth a list of excuses and promises for better behaviour in the future. About the time that the long blog silence began, I started doing the promotion and administration for artist James Gillick, much like I (try to) do for Wykes Manor. And my own art - but that's another whole story! Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James Gillick. When you know you've made it. Or written it yourself. Is that a thing? Subscribe to: Post Comm...

Monday, 8 December 2014. This weekend was the first time we officially opened our doors to local craftspeople and members of the public for an open House Exhibition, the first of many so we hope! Our thanks go to all of you who exhibited your work and to all who came along and supported this event. The sense of community was very strong, and wonderful to experience! 13 year old Pip Van Spyk did a roaring trade on his series of match-stick castle candle-holders. Love this little set of drawers. It wasn't ...

Tuesday, 17 February 2015. A Hidden gem in Lincolnshire. After a troubled day and night, before. The dawn reveals a hidden gem. Wykes Manor house and home. A place to be, the place to be today. A place to hide, a place to share. A place that’s comfortable with itself. A place to meet others. A place to tell your story. A place to dwell in the Spirit. A place with Big sky’s, Large fields, and dykes to drain away. But cold and ice and snow and rain and sleet and sun again. Home is where the heart is.
