Middle of Nowhere

The gentle life of an artist-illustrator living in the rural Cotswolds with four cats and an abundant vegetable garden. Tales of woodland walks, snapshots of our tiny cottage, the occasional cricket match and whatever artworks I am working on.

Oh me oh my! You've shown me what a blog can be! I so enjoyed reading and viewing your recent posts. I'll be back to read the archives.

Please feel free to visit me as you can. Cheers! :)
