'Come live with me and be my love.....'


Only 5 days to go to that special day and we have some amazing gifts for your loved ones.....Whether it's hearts and flowers you are looking for or something more eclectic we have a proliferating collection of beautiful images.

'Love on the Thames' - Theresa Pateman

Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
Ann Burnham's beautiful tulips
And I will make thee beds of roses 
And a thousand fragrant posies; 
A cap of flowers and a kirtle 
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle.

'Hot Daffs' - Lucie Green

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.

'Flying Kisses' - Hill Scott

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter,
What's to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
So come kiss me sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

'Tryst' - Barbara Jackson

Alas and is there no remedy ?
But have I thus lost it wilfully ?
I wis it was a thing all too dear
To be bestowed, and wist not where :
It was mine heart, I pray you heartily
Help me to seek.
'He Loves Me' Jane Daniell

Come and see us at the Gallery!

'How do I love thee....'

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Julie Sullock 'Hearts'

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

Jenny Ronay 'Bliss' series
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
Diana Croft 'Lone Tree'

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

Theresa Pateman 'Love on my Fingertips'

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

Thersa Pateman 'Twins'

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

Angela Brookes 'Morning Mist'

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

Libby Carreck 'Meadow Buttercups'
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints – I love thee with the breath,

Kit Boyd 'Llyn Du'
Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Theresa Pateman 'Loveseat'
