Before we moved house, I did loads of 'life laundry'. But I hadn't done enough!
Today I've been going thru many-decades-old portfolios. I've kept a bit, but chucked loads. These are exercises from my time at college more than 40 years ago. 😱
I drew A LOT in the olden days.

#MovingHouse! The contents of my kitchen are packed except for essential tea-making paraphenalia. #Tea has punctuated my day of packing & cleaning with deliciousness & a chance to sit down.

What I like to do when I'm #inside. 'Still life with #tea and biscuits' painted by yours truly. Shall I put the kettle on?

Here’s my latest the #GreenMan wall sculpture, fresh out of the kiln at The Chicken Run Studio, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire.

I’ll add some wires on the back & then he’ll be ready to hang in somebody’s garden somewhere. Yours, perhaps?

Here's a #BlastFromThePast for #WaterfallWednesday: "#Dipper in the rapids" from six summers ago.

We sat happily for hours by a rushing #river in #Norway, picnicking, sketching, taking photos, watching the #birds.

What to do on a miserable day? Hang out with a chum in her #homepotterystudio. While I glaze my new #GreenMan sculpture, Alison paints her goldfinches.

I pray to the #KilnGods - be kind...🙏

Nick from the Southern Counties #AustinHealey Club contacted me to ask if he could use a small section from my 'Counties of Southern England #Map' on their website. Of course! Everyone loves a classic #britishsportscar!

This morning we moved 20+ of my large glazed #paintings into storage with a friend in #Eynsham, close to our #NewHome - into which we move in just 2 wks. Thank goodness for my daughter-in-law & her vintage VW #campervan. They'd never all fit in our Mini!

Smoke from wildfires created extraordinarily hazy skies well before sunset in the #Pantanal, #Brazil, last year.

On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay it's incredible to think of the epic journeys the #birds make twice a year.

UK #birders, seen a #redwing yet?

#Paintings by me. Taking photos of birds is too hard 🤣

TWO of my #handpainted #maps have been #published in this #geography text #book from HardieGrant.

I wish I’d had such a fun & well designed book when I was at school …

We happened to be in #Birmingham last week & it would have been rude not to pay our respects to #Ozzy on Black Sabbath Bridge. So sweet to see tributes from all over the world are still being left there.

84-year-old #FolkLegend #RoyHarper on stage last night at #birminghamsymphonyhall with his insanely talented son #NickHarper.
'How does it feel?' Sublime, emotional, poignant. And they moved me to tears.
