Flowers, still lifes and domestic interiors are the primary subjects of Ethel Sands’s painting; here they are combined with books on a bookcase at the Château d’Auppegard near Dieppe in France where Sands and her partner, the Nan Hudson, spent summers together from the 1920s.

The C12th church of the Hospital of St Cross. It was founded by Henry of Blois between 1132 and 1136 to support 13 men & is possibly England's oldest surviving charitable institution. The church is the only remaining part of the original foundation. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday
