There is Hope I doodled this last night, as the country waited and prepared with the sense of anticipation. Here in the UK, measures continue to gradually lift.

Whether a Royalist or not, (I'm somewhere in the middle I think) yesterday without doubt will have touched the heart of the UK Nation. The husband of Her Majesty the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, passed away peacefully at 99-years-old.

I should note here that eggs are part of the celebration, but not the only part. Photo by … Continue reading Easter and Holy Week
Let me introduce you to Shark, the Goldfish. Shark is a sprightly 17-year-old, who happily mooches about blowing kisses and checking out what I'm doing when I'm sitting in my favourite place at my creative space. Shark will also slosh water out of the tank to get my attention. I keep the lid ajar to … Continue reading A Story About Our Goldfish
