As a member of the Society of Botanical Artists, Mrs Carter is required to submit five paintings to the society's annual exhibition held in Westminster Gallery, opposite Westminster Abbey in central London each year.

All 13 of the prints on the calendar are taken from Mrs Carter's original water colours that have been on show at the exhibition over the last nine years.

Mrs Carter is the former landlady of the West End pub in Wisbech, the Woodman's Cottage in Gorefield, the Woolpack in Terrington St John and the former Wisbech Arms, renamed W4 by Lucille and her husband Barry.

Mrs Carter, a former art teacher, took up botanical painting when she was at the Woodman's Cottage. 'A customer told me to go and look at the Society of Botanical Artists' exhibition in London, and that inspired me to join,' she said.

Since the couple gave up running W4 six months ago, planning permission has been obtained to turn the building into four flats.

The calendar costs £10 and is already on sale at Card Zone and Peckover House in Wisbech.
