Morning blueskyers! Back to the pencils this morning & writing this afternoon. Did this black redstart & chicks. The lighting is crap here but its pretty vibrant & will look good in the orchard book. Almost as friendly as robins. #countryside #orchard #birds #art #artist #drawing #nature

Out last evening to get the full moon and this mill. The moon just wouldn't move into the right position, so had to content myself with this stunning blue-hour photo. #moulin #mill #France #photography #MoulindeBoisse

Today, we are having a tidy & putting new straw in the sheep shed, because the girls are back tomorrow from their love-in with the handsome ram down the road. We expect the pitter-patter of tiny hooved mid-January! Be nice to do lambing again after a few years absence. #sheep #farming #smallholding

Finished my dragon this morning. Need to go and do some smallholding chores now, so have a look and share if you like. #dragon #fun #art #SaturdayMorning

Morning Weasel! It's raining here, so nothing getting done outside, so I'm doing a very relaxed dragon (not for the book, just for fun). This is basically a cartoon, & I'm sure you could do this! When I was a kid I was always doodling horses & trees. What can you draw? Share. #dragon #FridayFeeling

Hello Alistair; you're not alone. I'm trying to find my tribe here that I had on the other place too. I'm a creative too - if you'd like to review my book Grow Your Own Booze I could send you a kindle copy - very topical this season. (I'm assuming we have the equivalent to DM here?)

I'm shell-shocked at Sunak's declaration to pander to capitalists in the face of climate disaster.
All my life I've been sustainable & lived harmoniously with & in nature. I'm even spending my pension pot on solar energy! Feeling bruised & desperate this morning.
You'll find me in the garden.

She's doing well, actually. Had a massive op 2 years ago, more lumps have appeared but growing slowly. Still happy, still full of beans. Christmas 2 years ago (Shes the one with the hat).
