Ouch

Cold, grey and sleeting today. Went out for bike ride then dug a little on the allotment. Back gave way on me and so now resting in discomfort.

A Good Book

Reading an excellent book at the moment 'Deep Country' by Neil Ansell (2011). It is about a guy who goes and lives in a remote welsh cottage for a few years and writes about all the wildlife he sees. Not read a good easy and enjoyable read for ages - to many have been heavy going philosophical ones.

Sense of Place

Quote from within the book Deep Ecology (Devall and Sessions, 1985).

Dripping

A simple cartoon that had been running around my head for a while.

Robin Singing

Wish I had been out gardening all day. Instead I was piled high with work in front of my computer screen: either working on a batch of party ware or a kids fashion model type of kit. Warmest and sunniest day of the year so far. Birds are being more vocal now.

Allotment shed

It has been dry for a few days now and I was able to do a bit of clearing and digging this afternoon on my allotment. A little bit chilly, but I sat down and sketched this for half an hour or so and then finished it off at home. This was't my allotment though.

Plants for Sale

Started off by wanting a hill. Then added the trees and house. Looked a bit bland so added the garden around the house. I still wanted something extra and played around with several styles of fence and gate before deciding on the 'Plants for sale' idea. No animals today.
