• Here’s one for my friends down under. How to draw Kangaroo. This drawing is based on my retelling of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Story – The Sing Song of Old Man Kangaroo. Hope you like it!

  • The tadpoles have hatched in my pond. These little ones are sunning themselves in the warm shallows. No, those are not legs or arms sticking out of their sides, but gills. That’s what they breathe with before they metamorphose into air-breathing amphibians.

    Strangely, a new dollop of Frogspawn appeared this morning. Someone was a bit late for the main spawning last month, or maybe it’s more than a coincidence that it is a full moon!?

  • This has to be the first day of spring. Sunshine all day long and I’ve been putting shelves up for my Mother – well, I have been putting the job off for about five years!
