To commission a painting by talented Sandgate residing artist Malcolm Ritchie costs less than you think and provides a valued, timeless and unique gift. Malcolm has been painting and drawing for most of his life and works in all mediums and subjects.

My subjects, he says, inspire me. You're just a click away from looking at some more of his work and arranging an informal chat about what's on your mind.

You'll find me here #MalcolmRitchie

I like to share with you accomodation that we have used that displayed exemplary service. Such is The Old School House in Chichester. Great location, probably the best full English breakfast I've ever had and great front of house service too. Highly recommended.
