I really like this misty photo I took the other morning, but I'm not sure it looks like mist unless you know. #bexhill #photography #misty

One of the illustrations currently on display as part of the Curious Agenda arts festival. The theme is 'Play'. I show 'new folk' creatures taking a break from their mythical terrorising. Until 1 June, top floor of St Andrew's Mews, Hastings. #cars #art #illustration #folkart #hastings #bexhill

#nowplaying Magnetic Eyes by Jeff Phelps. Early, soulful electronic music. Not sure what year it's from, sounds early 80s. Beautiful sounds.

Just finished another read of Michael Rosen's You're Thinking About Donuts. One of my favourite childhood books, I love laughing along now with my daughter. Oddly, I'd not realised the illustrations were by Chris Riddle. This image captures the madness! #michaelrosen #childrensbooks #illustration

Just back from #Bexhill beach. The sea is a beautiful crystalline green today, especially as the waves roll, as I tried to capture here. #photography #nofilter #sea

#nowplaying Deface The Music by Utopia. Possibly the most Beatles sounding record, after the Rutles. Life Goes On is a treat, though. A lost McCartney track. #beatles #utopia

Enjoyed the use of colour, loose pencil marks & subtle collage of this sweet #picturebook. Also, little felt so disappointing and degraded as finding a previous child's colouring in, when I was young - so this page resonated! #childrensbooks #books #illustration

Never miss a chance for some impromptu education. #nowplaying Devo after listening to the new Chappell Roan with Echo and seeing the accompanying image (cover or artwork doesn't feel right here). Her verdict; quite liked the quirkiness, especially the outfits and them as potatoes.

Today's sea was a deep green blue. This just about captures the beautiful light on the surface, although the strip of clouds on the horizon felt like a glimpse of a faraway land, in reality. #seascape #bexhill #photography

I'll try to share more picture books I love. My Red Hat by Rachel Stubbs is a beautifully illustrated story. I love the muted colours and the minimal lines. The story is a perfect demonstration of the blurred line children have between imagination and reality. #picturebooks #illustration #books

#nowplaying Have to admit, despite playing Greg Foat's other albums regularly, I'd forgotten about this LP from 2017. #jazz

Today's listening. Started quite lively but progressed pretty quickly to the comfort of jazz.

I love when the sun shines in the face of a thunderous sky. Amplified today by the light De La Warr building in Bexhill.

Yesterday's #nowplaying So not now playing at all, but you know what I mean. The DC album has that pleasing combination of sounding fresh each listen, yet soothingly familiar at the same time. Like seeing a friend who has changed over the years yet remains undeniably them.

Reading Molesworth on a Sunday morning and discover the possible origin of Hogwarts. Apparently, J K Rowling has explained she was inspired by the plant but she has read Molesworth so the association was in her subconscious.

Really enjoyed the wall of visitors art within the Raymond Briggs exhibition in Ditchling. And ridiculous out of proportion pride in my daughter's effort, centre bottom row Snowman.
Children's interpretations of various Raymond Briggs characters hanging on 3 rows of string, mainly The Snowman and Father Christmas.
