Phew, the news is dark. Here’s a moment of beauty to catch your breath 🌿

The sun sets in a layer of yellow sky at the horizon and the blue sky and pink clouds above and a line of trees silhouetted and a dark stone wall in the foreground. It’s very peaceful.

As we're heading into three months of celebrations with intense gift-giving or home-decorating cultural expectations, here's a reminder that a) you don't need to gift things to show people you love them and/or prove you are successful, and b)...

Light green graphic with moon motif reading "Billionaires
hate this one
small trick!
Don’t buy from their companies. Try out a small business, a one-person set up, a
market stall.
Your money will go to better use than a yacht."

Sometimes I visit somewhere and it kind of merges with me. This happened with this place on Dartmoor: an orange-brown hill amongst the green, viewed from Brent Tor. I’ve just now finished tweaking my drawing of “Purr of the Hill” and it will be in my 2027 calendar 🧡 #craftbizparty #dartmoor #art

A postcard size drawing of a little hedgehog with green foliage and a dark purple and blue background.
Hedgehogs are well established in our urban habitat and can survive very well in our cities, making extremely good use of cemeteries, railway land, wasteland and both public and private gardens as long as they are joined up with others.

Approximately 4 by 6 inches (10.16 x 15.24 cm) will fit into a standard 4 by 6 inch photo frame.
