...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 3 minutesFacebook knows… Unsuprisingly I have had about a million and a half adverts for dubious watercolour tutorial sites crop up on my facebook recently (if you want an interesting article by the way, have a look at this) and have mostly ignored these as attempts …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhile on our first (hopefully of many) walks of the year I took a photo, as I have before, of the pine trees on Parkside Road. I’m always fascinated by these trees and (I am not sure if this is cut to avoid the road) …

Reading Time: < 1 minuteWeek 7 of One Colour a day. The teeniest beginnings of spring are starting to show and I have been walking to work a little, though we will have no mention of Chardonnay this week, as Someone Who Shall Remain Nameless decided to throw a …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis week has been a little non-descript. It’s interesting, actually, when faced with trying to create a colour each day, even though I love colours, my mind goes blank at times. I think the first three show this. Steak dinners came into this, and other …
