Patience is a virtue. She sits, waiting encased in a formidable transparent shell. Once freed she flows and flows into dots and swirls and characters and forms and stories all envisaged in splendid ways to show their glory. Once freed she lies, permanently, still. Through time she stays, though her colours fade amalgamating into the [...]
So 2019 has been and gone and we are now in 2020, and I so horridly heard on the radio this morning that we are currently just as close to 1990 as we are to 2050. This post, I suppose, is meant to be one of self-reflection for me and what I've seen and done [...]

I like moist brownies, but not always the ones where there is caramel or chocolate oozing from the centre after the first bite - with those [...]
So I had a pretty busy week seeing Neil Gaiman twice: firstly in a sort of concert and secondly in an interview with illustrator Elise Hurst to promote his new illustrated version of The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I had been to a Neil Gaiman event previously, when he was promoting Art Matters with [...]
