A Creative Winter Day: Eastnor Walk, Tewkesbury Art and Chocolate-Filled Christmas Cards

Some ideas gather quietly in a sketchbook, and some rush through ink before I even know what they are becoming. This vlog follows one of those ideas — from a hot August day painting a Christmas design, to a November walk where I finally climbed farther than chemo allowed, to an evening spent packing chocolate into Christmas cards in the heart of Tewkesbury.

In this video I take you with me:

• into Eastnor Deer Park, where I walked past the tree swing for the first time since treatment
• back to the studio for a final quality check on my Rudolf painting
• into Café au Chocolat, where Rudolf joins the Christmas window display
• and behind the scenes as we pack our collaborative Christmas cards, each one filled with a chocolate surprise

It became a day of quiet courage, returning strength, and making things by hand. A reminder that progress often arrives in small, beautiful steps.
