Linocut plate for the song ‘Twa Corbies’ from my illustrated book about traditional folk songs and ballads of the British Isles ‘Singing Up the Sun’. It’s taken time to move on from the awful Unbound saga but things are beginning to happen again. Thanks for your patience and kind words. x

I know I'm a bit behind as I haven't had a child at school for 16 years, but I've just seen a 'Teacher's Gift Guide' with presents from £40 to £150. Is a box of Celebrations or a smelly candle no longer enough then? 👀

If it's the summer solstice it must be our wedding anniversary. If I stick it out one more year I get RUBIES. (Not many people know that 39 years is your Chester Zoo anniversary, but it is, as we demonstrated today).

I don't know why people go on about the snow leopard being elusive and incredibly hard to find. IT'S RIGHT THERE.

The Toast sale has started. It's too late for me (just bought a dress for less than half price) but SAVE YOURSELVES.

In one of my cards the sender has written "Happy Birthday" in inverted commas. What are they trying to say? Have a miserable day? We both know it's not really your birthday? 🤷‍♀️

And another one has arrived today. Either @mooseallain.bsky.social (also @worldofmoose.bsky.social) has cornered around 30% of the greetings cards market or my friends and family inhabit a very specific subset of the population 😳
