Another memory sketch of last nights winter solstice moon. Driving back home from delivery Christmas presents the moon was spectacular. Hidden behind clouds and landscape. #wintersolstice #pencildrawing #sketch #memorydrawing #winter #ashwellchurch #sketchbook #christmaslights

A memory sketch from this morning, a foggy cold wintry dog walk, with mist across the fields. Something special about this time of the year. #winter #memorysketch #coldweather #drawing #mist #fog #bleak #earlymorning #dogwalk #trees #ashwellvillage

@BootstrapCook Well done, brilliant brilliant brilliant. Your story is inspiring and more helpful to others than you realise. I hardly ever go on Twitter now for similar reasons, but when I do and I read things like this I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
