A gardener who likes drawing, books & nature as well as chess and now attempting to skateboard at 50+😲. I don't trace, or use a lightbox, or draw lines, just draw with my dodgy eyes 🤓🔎 and a pencil 🖍. NO AI
No labels just me take it or leave it.🇬🇧🇺🇦

I drew this a while ago and my customer (I'm a gardener), who died yesterday, asked if he could buy it. I said don't be daft and handed to him. He was so pleased. For all I know it's still hanging on his wall. RIP Danny xx

I lost a lovely artistic customer today, I'm not religious or anything, but I can't help thinking he was saying goodbye 🥲

That's quite lovely. Could do with a lot of that in the UK on a drab day. I saw this in Newquay, Cornwall, UK this year if it counts.

Finally finished my needle-felting Hare (I know it looks more like a rabbit but I think the colours were wrong). I really enjoyed making it.

I chopped up this bad boy the other day. Still got two others to do but this one was a beast. Very heavy. Something to look forward to going with my roast dinners.😋

Currently making a hare with some bits of wool and a jagged little needle. Amazingly therapeutic (if like me anxious a lot) stabbing away with a needle. Needle felt look it up!

Today I did another new thing with my skateboard. I went to a skatepark! (admittedly at 5.30am). Wow it's so smooth, I think I could progress quicker than on the uneven ground I've been practising on. I'm battling my demons all the time. So each time I go out doing something I've won. 😀

I thought I would share this with you. Have you ever seen this on your roses? Apparently it is called a Robin's Pincushion and it is a gall produced by a Gall Wasp and there are it's larvae inside. I nearly threw it away but google lensed it first to find out what it was.

Was trimming a hedge today and turned and saw this little cat watching me, I went back to what I was doing and looked back and it was gone. If I hadn't have taken this photo I might have thought I was dreaming ..... well I did start at 5.50am and I'd been awake since 3am I could have hallucinated it
