I write about dragons and magic... And yet the most mystical thing that happened this weekend was at a book fair. As usual the weather was filthy yesterday. I mean really tipping it down. I always seem to do a book fair in a rain storm. So the day was almost over and I have… Continue reading Mystical

There are rules in life. They litter our space like a ton of confetti. Be nice Don't hurt anyone, Love others Smile Always be polite Rules... A lot of them and we have to abide by them all. What if one rule is broken then? What if you get hurt in the process? Does that… Continue reading Abide

Lately I have been ill... Really ill. The kind of sickness that leaves you unable to move and barely think. In fact, I am only just coming out of it and I keep finding myself so desperately tired that I am worried I have caught something else. It was just a tonsillitis infection, no big… Continue reading Treasure
Pungent
This time of year is always filled with smells. The Rayburn is on so there is the smell of smoke and we are cooking more roasts. Basically, winter in our house simply smells good. At the moment there is a bit of beef cooking with roast vegetable and a baked potato... No Yorkshire pudding but… Continue reading Pungent
Anticipation
Everyone gets it... You anticipate a meal or a new dress. You sit at the edge of your seat waiting for the newest movie to start in the cinema.

Why I draw…
I have a secret. Actually, it is an old one. It has to be. You see I've been doing it for ages, even in public... I do it on the grass, in my workshop, in front of my family, in front of strangers. And all anyone says is - wow. That's good. Or - I… Continue reading Why I draw…
Artifical
I have issues that mean I find it difficult to read other peoples expressions and feelings. What can seem like a fake smile to a someone else I will see as genuine. I can't see it. I have tried but it is difficult. I have very little facial recognition and have lost friends because I've… Continue reading Artifical
Millions
There has to be that many artworks I have produced. Some are lost... Like the line of kingfishers I drew on a twig, all fluffy and sulky looking. I moved to Wales and forgot that the picture was in a shop. There they remained and now I have no idea where it is. Did it sell? Did… Continue reading Millions
