Prior to 2022, our newsletter didn't have a name ... but it was still jam-packed with articles!

"Another absolute stunner, Aly. Highlights? Too many to list, though like you, I’m in love with Zara’s melting eyes. 

Thanks to Dave for his comments on the Canon camera. I have a similar model, and aside from magic, I have no idea how it works.

So glad Rebecca recommended Catherine Meyrick’s novel. It’s one of my top reads for this year. 

Thank you for the wonderful entertainment. I have no idea how you find the time to put such a stellar publication together each month. But I’m so glad you do!"

Beth Haslam, December 2023

"This is one of the best newsletters I’ve read. Packed full for readers to devour."

Kevin J D Kelly, January 2022.


"This really is an exceptional publication - well done and congratulations."

Paul Rees, December 2023.


"The magazine is a work of art in itself."

Lisa Rose Wright, January 2022.

I am an artist and author married to Dave Sheldrake - photographer - and we are always doing something new! If you would like to receive my monthly e-mail newsletter which contains updates, news and special offers and sale prices only available to subscribers, then please complete the form above.

You will be able to view my latest work and be invited to special events ahead of the general public.

Each month I also feature websites, books, authors, and other artists and photographers that Dave and I admire and enjoy, along with information about life here in the Algarve. I will also keep you informed about my latest writing endeavours.

I will never pass on your details to a third party or pester you with lots of e-mails. I usually send out just one newsletter on the 1st of each month.
