2023 Calendars

Hi all, I am pleased to announce that my 2023 calendars are now in stock and available to purchase from my website and in local Post Offices. For 2023 I have created two calendars: “Heart of Mercia” and “Narrowboats”, with both calendars containing images from my local area.

2023 Heart of Mercia Calendar

The Heart of Mercia Calendar has 12 images from my local region and as Repton was originally the historic capital of Mercia it seemed a good place to start! Willington, Findern, Repton, Melbourne, Egginton, Weston on Trent & Mercia Marina are featured.

Narrowboats

My Narrowboat calendar has twelve images taken along the Trent and Mersey canal between Stenson and Willington. I am very lucky to live so close to a wonderful stretch of canal where there are plenty of photo opportunities.

Both calendars are available to purchase from my website and are also available from Findern, Repton and Willington Post Offices.

Priced at £10.00 each – (including free UK P&P), they fit into Royal mail’s large letter category. When in use the calendar folds out to 29.7 cm x 42 cm which allows plenty of room for your appointments.

My calendars are made locally in Staffordshire and are printed on a Ricoh digital press which uses PxP-EQ based toner producing very little non-recyclable waste. The cello bag and card are recyclable, and the paper used is part of the Woodland Capture Scheme.
