Just finished this brilliant book. Have read all the series so far. Characters have me hooked. DCI Ryan Wilkins is so different. Refreshing. Can’t wait for the next one #crmefiction

Our art teacher said we should bear in mind we are working with watercolour or take up oils! So have been trying to let the transparency of watercolour show through- it’s what I love about it. No good being a control freak with this medium!! #watercolour#art

I love the work of Rowland Hilder and in art this week we did a version of his Kent marshes. The light in Hilder’s work is something else so tried to get some of that atmosphere 😊
