Ended up with a roll of paper about 20 feet long, crammed with such wonderful, lively art and a really buzzing student community. Amazing. #doodleaday

That show has such a special place in my heart for many reasons… loving finally getting to perform even a small bit of it. #doodleaday

…and so he became the star of the doodle. How very forward of him… #doodleaday

I get so cross with myself for constantly failing to maintain a fitness regime… one day I’ll crack it, I hope. Ok - here I go again… #doodleaday #fitessfail

To say that theatre is a passion of mine is putting it mildly… #doodleaday #lovetheatre

As an artist, it would have been remiss of me not to mark the passing of one of the greats… #doodleaday

You don’t really need to be Sherlock Holmes to work out they’ve been around… #doodleaday

I’m not a big sleeper, but that was a bit harsh! Also started the workday with a bit of exam invigilating, so that was tough to stay awake!!! #doodleaday

[Gary Andrews @GaryScribbler]

Whilst I love the learning support, the days I get to help with the teaching are the best days. #doodleaday

[Gary Andrews @GaryScribbler]

A gentleman of a certain age should know better!!! #doodleaday

Spinach, egg, olives, onion, pepperoni, black garlic sauce, Parmesan, green tapenade. Super-tasty… #doodleaday

It’s always lovely to see the old photos, and the memories they bring but I really do love the changes that have happened, and the young adults they are becoming. #doodleaday

Looking to try a nice, loose style and set up a new online shop/gallery. Keep watching this space! #doodleaday #lovepainting #artmatters

Exams are nearly over. College beckons… soon, he will be teaching me!!! #doodleaday

Nothing beats it. You know the rollercoaster is about to start… #doodleaday #lovetheatre

No computers or digital cameras back then - but I’m glad to say that the students do still get to use the darkrooms like we did for some of their course. Wonderfully nostalgic. #doodleaday

[Gary Andrews @GaryScribbler]

It was utter perfection right from the very start. So much heart and beauty and warmth. Love it. #doodleaday

The occasional blur as they pass through. You sometimes hear them rummaging for food… #doodleaday

[Gary Andrews @GaryScribbler]

…but it was worth it as the olive tree pots look lush now! Can’t afford a holiday but at least we can make the garden feel a little more exotic!!! #doodeaday
