Mary Ward* is a rich peachy-pink, a bit of the sky at sunrise and a hint of the golden sunshine on its way. It has lots of colour but is not in any way bright.

*Mary Ward was a born into a Catholic Yorkshire family in 1585 and quickly devoted herself to educating women through the foundation of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary IBVM and campaigning for improved position of women in the church and society. She travelled extensively, walked across the Alps on foot during winter and was imprisoned numerous times for her beliefs, smuggling out letters written in lemon juice to continue her work. The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary still exists and has a small museum dedicated to Mary Ward based at the Bar Convent in York - well worth a visit!
