Here’s another couple of quick sketches I did in Waterstone’s bookshop cafe in Swansea. It’s very quiet there because most people have bought books and then pop up to the cafe for a cuppa and a read. It’s lovely. I drew with a ballpoint pen into my tiny Laura Ashley sketchbook. I’ve put itContinue reading “A Cuppa And A Read”

Hats Indoors
Stopped for a cup of tea in the lovely cafe in Waterstones bookshop in Swansea and had a quick scribble. Two young women wearing woolly hats indoors. They won’t feel the benefit when they go out into the cold, as my Nana used to say.
Welsh Cakes For Saint David’s Day
Today is Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant, or Saint David’s Day, here in Wales, a day of tradition and celebration and one of our finest traditions is Welsh food. I cooked some Welsh Cakes – or Pice ar y Maen (little cakes on the bakestone). Here’s a recipe if you want to try them. I usedContinue reading “Welsh Cakes For Saint David’s Day”
Scribbling In The Book Shop

It’s one of my favouriteContinue reading “Scribbling In The Book Shop”

We have a big clear up job ahead. But first, setting up the exhibition at the Satrang Gallery in Islamabad. After a shower, we went over to theContinue reading “The Aftermath!”

This meant spending a couple of hours in the city traipsing around the shops listening to him complaining, “They’ve taken a perfectly good jacket and written STUFF all over it!” “Have you seen the state on these trousers! They’re down around their backsides!”. “Look at the cut on these jeans!!!!!Continue reading “Grumpy Old Man”
Casting A Clout.
It’s unusually warm and sunny so husb and I spent a long hard day on the allotment and came home shattered and aching. Every year we resolve to break ourselves in gently, do an hour or so the first time, but we don’t because you never know when it’s going to pour down for weeksContinue reading “Casting A Clout.”
Scribbler’s Block!! Where’s my creative juices gone?
It happens to us all – Scribbler’s Block, Writer’s Block, do musicians get blockages? I’m sure they do. What do you do when you’re struggling away in the studio and the creative juices have dried up? You’ve already got three or four pieces of work on the go and everything you try to doContinue reading “Scribbler’s Block!! Where’s my creative juices gone?”
