Husb and I spent a few days in The Lake District earlier this week and visited the stupendous Castlerigg stone circle near Keswick. I did a quick scribble, just a few seconds as it was so cold, freezing! I used conté crayons in white, sanguine and black into my A4 spiral bound brown paper sketchbook.Continue reading “BBBRRRRR 2!!!!!”

BBBBRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Husb and I spent a few days in the Lake District this week. It was freezing cold! Temperature dropped to about -4° Celsius at night. We went walking on Birkrigg Common and I did a quick sketch. Very quick as my hands rapidly became too cold to draw. It forces you to focus on theContinue reading “BBBBRRRRRRR!!!!!!”
MUD!
Mud. Mud and standing stones. After a break of about three months I’m off out traipsing across the muddier parts of South Wales with filmmaker Melvyn Williams and pre-historian Dewi Bowen. There are still a lot of ancient monuments to be explored, recorded and drawn before Dewi is able to complete his new book. ThisContinue reading “MUD!”
A Busman’s Holiday
Husb and I managed to book a very cheap, out of season package holiday in North Cyprus last week – seven days of warmth, sunshine and lovely food. It’s a beautiful country and we split our time between chilling out and exploring. The nearest city is Kyrenia and when we took the bus in, IContinue reading “A Busman’s Holiday”

The Druid’s Circle
A rare example of a double stone circle – well I had to scribble it, didn’t I?
Shameless Self Promotion
Oh yes! Husb and I are off to The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir tomorrow to set up my solo show, ‘Yr Helfa / The Hunt‘ which opens on September the 1st and carries on through to September the 24th. BUT, we’re not having an opening event, instead we’re having a HIGH TEA on Saturday SeptemberContinue reading “Shameless Self Promotion”
The Birkrigg Druids
Here’s another of the drawings I did recently at the Birkrigg stone circle in Cumbria. It’s a magical place and I was lucky with the weather – brilliant sunshine in an otherwise wet and dreary summer. It was unusually clear and we could look out across the sea to Blackpool in the middle distance andContinue reading “The Birkrigg Druids”
And Still They Keep Coming…..
The Baby Boomers. I’m lucky that so many have volunteered, and keep volunteering, to sit for me in my creative urge to draw one hundred people of my generation before the end of the year. We’re a massive generation, that’s why we’re called boomers, or sometimes ‘the bulge’, we’re a great big lump moving throughContinue reading “And Still They Keep Coming…..”
The Druid’s Temple
I spent a few days in glorious sunshine in The Lake District in Cumbria last week and I just happened to be staying a few minutes walk from Birkrigg Common where there is a lovely Neolithic double stone circle, The Druid’s Temple. Double stone circles are rare so it was a treat to be ableContinue reading “The Druid’s Temple”
