I've just added a new design to my collection of Somerset-themed Christmas cards with this festive scene of the beautiful town of Somerton and its Market Square.

The same location also features on my 2022 Somerset calendar, of which I now only have a limited number left. I didn't want to order too many just in case I didn't sell them before the clock strikes 12 on December 31! Luckily, the response has been lovely!

The Somerton Christmas card (as shown in the picture below) is available to buy as single cards or packs of multiples from my Etsy shop here.

In the same shop, I've also got cards for sale featuring Bristol, Clevedon, Wells, Glastonbury and more. Do let me know if you'd like me to create a customised Christmas card for yourself or your business this year, following a project I'll be sharing more on soon.

The official switch-on of the Christmas lights in Clevedon town centre may have been postponed by Storm Arwen at the weekend, but they still switched the lights on and they are looking fantastic! Here are some photos I took around Clevedon Triangle on Saturday of the Clevedon Clock Tower, the "Merry Christmas Clevedon" sign which is in Clevedon's Queen's Square and the lovely lights on Clevedon Baptist Church. I've also posted a few pictures from the Clevedon Alexandra Gardens lights display on my blog and if you'd like to buy any of my illustrations of Clevedon for gifts, stocking fillers, etc.. then you can visit my Etsy shop here!

I'm excited to release a brand new Christmas card for 2021 of the beautiful shopping street of Hill Road in Clevedon, North Somerset!

Taking inspiration from my existing card featuring a festive Clevedon town centre and the iconic Curzon Cinema, I decided to change things up a little bit by designing a night-time scene, complete with some of the wonderful Christmas lights that are currently in the area. (see some of my pictures of the Light Up The Parks display on my blog here).

The card is available to buy on my Etsy shop here. For bulk orders or to stock in a shop, please email me via the contact form or on social media (Facebook and Instagram).

Clevedon’s Hill Road and Alexandra Road — and the Alexandra Gardens park and the Copse Park just by Clevedon Pier — have been lit up by beautiful lights this Christmas.

The crowdfunded Light Up The Parks display is switched on at dusk.

The Clevedon Christmas Market — in collaboration with The Sunday Market, Clevedon BID, Clevedon Town Council & Hill Road/Alexandra Road Traders — will take place from 6pm to 9pm on Thursday, December 9, 2021. All the details from the Discover Clevedon website here.

Here are some of my pictures of lights. And you can see some of my illustrations of Clevedon (including a brand new image of Hill Road) here.

Living near Bristol, I've crossed the beautiful Clifton Suspension Bridge countless times and I always marvel at what an amazing structure it is!

To pay tribute, I designed this Clifton Suspension Bridge Christmas card that's available to buy on my Etsy store here.

It's printed on thick recycled paper and comes with an envelope made of recycled paper and a biodegradable corn starch bag.

I've also illustrated the Clifton Suspension Bridge as a non-Christmas scene card, and it is available as a print on request.

You can also put yourself into the picture. Please get in touch via the contact page if this is something you may be interested in.

Today I'm releasing my  brand new design -- my London Christmas card.

It features a couple walking hand in hand on London's South Bank, with the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Portcullis House in the background.

There's even a cameo from a little London fox and some pigeons.

The card is printed on thick recycled paper and comes with an envelope made of recycled paper. It is packaged in a corn starch biodegradable bag.

Wells in Somerset is the smallest city in England, and it's also one of the most beautiful!

I've spent quite a bit time in Wells. I worked for a company based there and even had a stall at a couple of the city's Christmas markets, so it was great fun to illustrate Wells Cathedral and The Bishop's Palace for these Somerset Christmas cards.

Buy Wells Christmas cards from my Etsy shop here.

Fun fact: Wells has played host to lots and lots of films and television shows -- including Doctor Who, Poldark, Wolf Hall and Hot Fuzz.

These cards are also available as prints, or you can put yourself into the picture for an extra special gift. Get in touch via the contact page.​

My bonkers and adorable cockapoo (or cockerpoo, does anyone have a definitive spelling?) Larry was the inspiration for this cockapoo Christmas card -- he's on the right here with two of his best friends who often tear about the woods together getting up to mischief!

The church in the background is inspired by the beautiful Butleigh Church in Somerset, southwest England, not far from Glastonbury.

These cockerpoo Christmas cards are A6 sized -- and made of recycled paper. They come with a recycled scarlet envelope and are packaged in compostable corn starch bags.

Buy cockapoo Christmas cards through my Etsy page here.

I also sell a cockerpoo birthday card here.

Want the image as a print? Or want to put yourself or your pup (doesn't have to be a cockapoo) into the picture? Get in touch via the contact page above.

Happy November! I'm so happy to reveal my new set of eco-friendly Christmas card designs just in time for Xmas 2020 -- featuring some of my favourite animals -- puffins, a robin, partridges and owls.

These colourful festive cards are all made from thick, recycled card. The envelopes are made from recycled paper. They come in biodegradable bags that can be composted after use.  Sustainable living is so important to me and I want to leave as light a footprint with my products as possible.

Fun Fact -- Puffins are also known as the 'clowns of the sea' -- having seen the way they fly and come into land on both the Farne Islands and Skomer Island, I can definitely see why!
