Returning to my ‘Return to Scolt Head’ linoprint. My favourite place to canoe to on the Norfolk coast. This is the first layer, involving a bit of fiddling around with the ink after the lino has been inked - a bit like monoprinting. Takes me ages!

Henry Moore’s Arch in Kensington Gardens the other day. Inspired by a fragment of bone and the idea that the bone is the structure and strength inside a living form. The sculpture is positioned so you have a view of Kensington Palace through the arch.

Late afternoon on Hampstead Heath. Saw a kestrel and a thrush, so all good.

If you’re daunted by the prospect of taking down your Christmas decorations, spare a thought for the Churchill Arms, W8 🌟

This morning I made a silver stater and a silver ring - pleased that the current trend is for uneven jewellery! Thanks to Kernowcraft for the raw materials.

This is THE perfect film to watch between Christmas and New Year. I watched it at the cinema when it first came out and then again yesterday. It bears repeated viewing. Set in New England in 1970/71 - so funny and poignant. Paul Giamatti brilliant as always.

If you get the chance to see ‘Oliver!’ At the Gielgud Theatre, go go go! Brilliant cast, but especially Simon Lipkin as Fagin (pics from his insta) - the best Fagin I’ve ever seen on stage or screen. Pure magic! 💫🌟

Sometimes, you just have to rustle up your own Christmas tree. Pass me the secateurs…

‘The world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of wonder’ (G K Chesterton). There is something magical about a Christmas tree lit up in a dark and quiet room. I saw two foxes and a sparrow hawk in London today - maybe they know things are quietening down for Christmas 💫🌟

Another of my Christmas card designs. I think this one was inspired by the fabulous ‘Gold of the Great Steppe’ exhibition @fitzmuseum.bsky.social a few years back.

The Winter Solstice takes place today, after which the sunlight hours grow longer. This year I used copper, gold and silver inks to make a print of the Shropshire Bulla - a beautiful gold sun pendant from the late Bronze Age, found in Shropshire in 2018.

The answer is “YES!!”, because today is the most important day of the year - the day for the purchase of the Christmas cheese. How many different cheeses though…?!
