This is shocking language, considering what happened in WW2.

"During their captivity, Thunberg claimed jail guards frequently threatened to “gas” the activists in their cells."

The Botanic Cottage at Edinburgh’s botanical gardens.

One of my favourite buildings in the city. I love its story and the love and care the people of the city have shown it www.rbge.org.uk/visit/royal-...

Haven’t done any drawing for months, but have finally picked up a pencil. Feeling very rusty, but it’s a start.

An African Penguin that I drew in a style that is not typical for me but it came out well and the print has been one of the firm favourites at art markets.

He’s got a charismatic little face, which I take no credit for - the reference Penguin had all the charm!

Birds are super fun to draw. I love their shapes, colours and charisma.

This is a Tufted Titmouse.

Halloween Hay Ride, Debbie Criswell.

A folk art painting titled "Halloween Hay Ride" by artist Debbie Criswell.
The painting depicts a whimsical Halloween scene at night with a full moon and a witch flying on a broomstick. The scene is set in a rural area with rolling hills and houses. A horse-drawn hay wagon, carrying a figure in a black tuxedo and top hat, is at the center of the image. Surrounding the wagon, several figures, including some dressed as ghosts and a black cat, are running along a dirt road.
In the foreground, there is a graveyard with tombstones and a field of pumpkins. The background features several houses, including a large white house and a red barn-like structure, nestled in autumn-colored trees.

Blue Jays are part of the crow family, as my 5yo who is much more knowledgeable about the natural world than I am, recently informed me.

My bird knowledge is poor, I just like to draw them. Grateful to have a young naturalist at home.

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

Nice to see a brand new Waterstones branch in Staines, even if it is just one that's moved 50 metres or so to a location inside the Elmsleigh Centre.
