When David and I set up the B&B business in 2004, I thought I would have plenty of free time to pursue my professional practice. In the end we were so busy, this proved impossible and at the end of the 2010 season we made the decision to close the B&B to concentrate our professional energies on the things we loved doing most.
Since then, I have been learning the software to enable me to design and create this website, for instance, as well as starting a new blog: 'my sketch book pages', www.carowoods.com. To see more of Caro's work, exhibitions list, etc: www.carowoods.co.uk.
