• Such a crisp, clear day. The sun was shining and the air was biting cold. Up in the forest the shafts of sunlight slid through the bare trees, lighting up areas that will soon be darkened by spring leaves, for there are signs already. Shoots are appearing on the wild clematis and the catkins are lengthening on the hazel. Snowdrops are bursting through the ground in my garden. January is nearly at an end an spring can’t be too far away.


  • I can sense it! The snowdrops are bursting through the soil, the Collar Doves are cooing to each other, the catkins are lengthening – as are the days – spring can’t be far away. And it’s only two weeks to St Valentine’s Day.

    So – why not surprise your loved on with a real, live drawing of a single red rose? Why not draw your own Valentine’s day card this year and show how romantic you really are?

    If you like the video, please rate it with the stars in the top left hand corner. Love you!

  • I visited St Peter’s School in Waterlooville near Portsmouth on Monday and had a wonderful day.

    The years one and two went off after my session and drew fantastically scary drawings of Pumpkin Men and Bogey Men after they had helped me invent a story about the Mushroom Man who pops out of horse pooh in the middle of the night!

    Years Three and Four came up with an idea for Ricky Rocket’s first Day in the Gym and Years Five and Six decided that it was really Viking Vik that was the first person ever to score a goal at football!

    Thanks for a great day!
