Reading Time: 2 minutes I think we’vr had a marginally better summer this year, or at least subjectively, I have managed to experience more of it from somewhere otger than sat in the office. The other evening I took the new Mungyo colours out in the front garden in …
Reading Time: 12 minutes It’s been a few months since I started off on the journey of beginning to make my own watercolours and I thought it was time of a bit of a review of where things are up to, as I have learned quite a lot and …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes While 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) …
