Radiohead's Hail to the Thief married to Shakespeare's Hamlet at the RSC Stratford. Bloody marvellous in every aspect. What an experience.

Thank you Ann. We did still have Noodle but I maintain that two is the minimum acceptable number of dogs.

Said goodbye to Pudding today. Rapid decline overnight, a stroke I think. He wagged until the very end. The most wonderful dog. We are broken.

We've decided that we like these two billing and cooing pigeons so much that they're not for sale. You can see them and loads more at our show this weekend. Do come!

Gorgeous client photo - Dancing Otters has been in place in this Somerset garden for a couple of years now, and is looking gorgeous!

Sold - Preening Swan will remain on show at the Himalayan Garden near Ripon, but she's got a red dot. I'll be exhibiting in a couple of weeks at home with @suesideartist.bsky.social though - and we have many other artists in the village, all as part of Oxfordshire Art Weeks. Do come!

Looks wonderful, Ann, but the stunning garden helps!

A reworked piece. This was twice the height and, predictably, fell over. New leaves, another hole and the added detail of gilding the voids has given it new life. What do you reckon? Will be on show at our coming exhibition - looking forward to seeing you!

This smaller version of a larger garden piece is in a gorgeous bit of Portland limestone. It'll be available to see, stroke and even buy (you'd better be quick!) at our exhibition in just three weeks (gulp). @suesideartist.bsky.social at my side as ever - she's producing beautiful work right now.

...The agave that my mum gave us as a tiny offshoot years ago, the pond gently trickling, rosemary quietly and subtly flowering, the heady scent of wisteria and the buzzing of dozens of bees. Bliss.

Jane's amazing garden. It's mine too, but she does all the work. Wisteria is going crazy this year, that flowering columnar cherry on the right that Pudding ate as a pup but we gave another chance is stunning, and a well stocked (and well stacked) log store always pleases...

Sketching morris dancers' silhouettes. They'll feature on a forthcoming piece of public art in the centre of Bampton, commissioned by the parish council and funded through Section 106 art funding. Very excited for this stone to be delivered so that I can start!

Meanwhile, I'm off to see this bad boy today at @morethanadodo.bsky.social. I do have my reasons to visit specifically this dinosaur, which will soon hopefully become clear.

Today I had poached pheasants' eggs on avocado on toast for breakfast, and then a very nice bull calf let me scratch his head lots. I like an uncomplicated life but I also like new experiences.
