Actually don’t tell anyone but I quite like it… #doodleaday

Ah. That bittersweet moment… #doodleaday #lovereading

You never stop having to make important life decisions. I guess that’s all part of the adventure… #doodleaday #adulting

In a stressful world, the tranquility these days provide is immeasurable. #doodleaday #loveart #lovenature

My love of the theatre isn’t just about the acting and directing. Every part of the process is just as important (and fun!) #doodleaday #lovetheatre

Growing lad - costing a fortune mind you!!! #doodleaday #teenagers

Well, it’s a workout! #doodleaday

I played when I was his age. It was fun then and it’s still fun now! It’s great we get to share this. #doodleaday #dadandsonlove❤️

I love being able to share the fun and satisfaction that painting can give. Wish I could do more! #doodleaday #loveart

Maybe I should just stick to books! #doodleaday #firstworldproblems

Apparently she lives here… but she’s like some mystical creature you occasionally catch a fleeting glimpse of… #doodleaday

Humans are endlessly fascinating. One of the many reasons I love being an artist - the sheer variety of character. #doodleaday

Now that’s the way to start the week! #doodleaday #feeder #lovecooking

So much to think about… decisions to make… time to be like Bilbo! #doodleaday #decisions

We are so lucky to have such beautiful countryside and gardens so close to us. Always feel better after a walk in nature. #doodleaday #lovenature

Literally walking as if I’ve had an unfortunate accident, trouser-wise! Not very flattering… OK, body, joke’s over. We’ve all had a good laugh, now can normal service be restored, please? #doodleaday #fallingapart

I can’t even begin to imagine what their lives must have been like. So young. Very greateful they both came through it ok… we are so lucky. ❤️ #doodleaday #VEday #family

Today i was enjoying it so much, I even thought “Oh, has he finished martial-arts class already?” #doodleaday #lovereading #goodbooksmakemehappy

As usual, The Bridge Theatre doesn’t disappoint. Clear, concise, modern staging of Richard II (which can sometimes be a bit of a slog, if I’m honest!)… and they do a mean Eccles Cake! #doodleaday #loveshakespeare #lovetheatre

…and 3 days in a row with lovely long walks. Promising ourselves to do this more. Nature is so soothing. #doodleaday #walkinginnature

Sorry - worst joke ever but I couldn’t resist! I humbly apologise… #doodleaday #dadjoke

Trust him to go one better… Love leading the sketchcrawls with The Big Draw - I never tire of looking at London this way. #doodleaday #sketching

The change in the last year alone has been staggering. My little boy became a young man in the blink of an eye (but still likes to snuggle up on the sofa when we watch a movie together!) #doodleaday #parenting #growingfast

Beltane Blessings: the joys of Spring giving way to the warmth of approaching summer. The land bursting with new growth. The sun bringing light and hope. (And in the southern hemisphere, blessed Samhain!) #doodleaday #wheeloftheyear #beltane

Fun seeing the grown-ups getting involved too. There’s always a certain magic at Gateway Community Gardens - a very special place. #doodleaday #loveart

It’s never too late to challenge yourself and try something new… #doodleaday #nevertoolate

Sometimes the day just runs away with you… #doodleaday #whooosh

www.thebigdraw.org/events/shake... Fancy a nice stroll and a bit of drawing this Sunday? Then follow the link for tickets. ❤️

It’s funny how the simplest of things can bring the greatest pleasure. And since I fell in love with cooking, this is one of my favourites. #doodleday #feeder

Lovely trip to see ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ with Eve. Don’t get many occasions with just us two - I was a real treat. #doodleaday #stepdadgoals

Yes it’s a weather post… no, I’m not sorry (I am a bit). #doodleaday

And that’s just some of the roles I’ve been lucky enough to play over the years… (wonder how many you can spot?!) #doodleaday #loveshakespeare

You never know what interesting turns life will take… #doodleaday

Really want to stick at it… taking it easy. Not running before I can walk (literally!!) #doodleaday #fitnessjourney #creakyknees

Haven’t laughed so much in ages. Utter genius from our Mischief mates… #doodleaday

Day one of a theatre weekend… kicking off with an intimate, one man show in our little studio theatre… #doodleaday #lovetheatre

I’d love to see a time lapse of us watching!!! #doodleaday #blendedfamily

With so much darkness and negativity everywhere, every little positive is a twinkle of light… #doodleaday #positivethoughts

One of the treats of being a parent: watching them grow and mature. #doodleaday #parentingteens

Damn that 4.00am pee and the inability to get back to sleep for 2 hours… #doodleaday #insomnia

Fighting all my ‘habit reflexes’ to go and grab a snack… quite an eye-opener. #doodleaday #fitnessjourney

…and 9 years of doodles… thanks for following. Let’s keep going, eh? #doodleaday #birthdayboy #healthjourney

Brilliantly performed and hugely entertaining. Loved it in the west end and even more second time around. #doodleaday #lovetheatre

Mysterious cuts and bruises, aches that come and go… but at least the brain is still working… for now, anyway! #doodleaday

A - The Man in Black by Ellie Griffiths B - The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver C - Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer I like variety!! #doodleaday #lovebooks

School holidays used to be packed with activities… felt weird to be pretty much surplus to requirement! Got a few plans but generally it’s each to their own! #doodleaday #growingup
