Check out this petition… chng.it/84Zp8Xc5QY

Friday painting, this time of Dundrum Castle, County Down. Again I’m trying to be looser and not fuss over details. #painting #acrylicpainting #landscapepainting #artsky

Having tried a few watercolours, I’m now trying some acrylic painting. I wanted to try a loose style. Quite happy with my first effort. #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #artsky #birds

Another #watercolour #watercolor attempt, this time of a Robin perched on a branch #painting #amateurpainter

Trying #watercolour #watercolor again this weekend. This time I took inspiration from a photo I took of a boat afloat on Dundrum Bay, County Down (incidentally where I live and that has been named “Best place to live” in 2025 by The Times

Another #painting, this time of Spelga Dam in Northern Ireland. Still trying and I am carrying on anyway and framing what I do. #watercolour #watercolor

Now this is a great feed!!!… Two great people, one after the other. Brilliant in different ways but, no doubt, proud of each other. @samreich.bsky.social @rbreich.bsky.social

Continuing to try and do some #painting with these three #watercolours; a view of the Mourne mountains, an abstract escape, and a view of Maggie’s Leap (Northern Ireland). They aren’t great but I am carrying on anyway and framing what I do. #watercolour #watercolor

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

My wife went to a painting party with people from her work so my daughter and I decided to have our own painting party. I had no idea what to paint and tried to recreate an abstract painting from the web but in the end it evolved into this inexpert moody landscape. At least we had fun! 😀 #painting

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

On our way to see Santa at Dobbies (pic of me with my daughter)

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

…And the fountain pen that started it all off… A Parker Duofold my parents bought me for passing my A-levels all those years ago.

Some of my fountain pens at the other end of the spectrum. #fountainpens

Some underrated but enjoyable reads in the old Ace Double Sci-fi books. 🪐📚 #scifi #booksky

A collection of my fountain pens from the cheaper end of the market for people to enjoy. Some Parker and Jinhao.
