@SaffronKim The way I cope is focusing on the little things I can change. Flowers for the bees. Walking my dogs. Being kind. Writing. Tiny things I knew, that won't change the whole world. But they change my world.

@chersmithbooks I'm so sorry- it's such a horrible time of year, too. Go back to one moment, one breath and one step at a time.

@mooramana I made the Tom Kerridge Christmas Pudding Cheesecake for Christmas Day - it was amazing

The past two years have been tough. A lot of loss. I haven't been at my best in terms of creativity and making art. I'm trying, but grief doesn't play by the rules. This is a watercolor print that's available called "Where Do We Go From Here?", that expresses exactly how I feel. Lost. Surrounded by the mists of isolation. Can't see far enough ahead. Melancholic and sad. But also a little hopeful. Maybe. I don't know yet. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I'll be back 100% soon I hope. 🧡

@emmahoneybone I'm so sorry. Losing a wonderful mum is a very special kind of grief xxx
