You were always on my mind
As many people have this year, I have taken up art as a new hobby. I spent most of 2020 trying to learn to paint with cheap acrylics or watercolours. I even gave embroidery a shot and I have all the equipment to prove it. At Christmas I was very lucky to be given an... Continue Reading →
In the restful darkness, the inbetween. The soft London glow creeps through a crack in the blind.

Tick. Each tug bring it closer, The snap is inevitable. And it will take its toll. Tick. Magnetic forces are at work. Drawing it north and south, East and west. Tick.
