Roger spends a lot of his time tending the house, garden and grounds. By contrast he also enjoys drawing and writing. He occasionally joins Rosie in exhibiting locally.

Rosie meantime spends as much time as possible on her painting. She has particularly enjoyed the chance to paint frequently in France and several times in Morocco and Spain, though she also finds inspiration in the West Dorset landscape, with its deep sense of the past lying just beneath the surface. She runs courses occasionally and exhibits regularly, and her paintings hang in homes in many parts of the world.
