@ShepherdWales@ukcapital My daughter has just left a voice message saying it is completely cancelled and campers have to be off site by 12noon tomorrow. She sounded very shaken.

It would be so so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health workshop in my previous tweet if you have a few seconds. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not remotely proud of this) and I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously. I so love teaching people how to draw & how it changes brain biochemistry resulting in better mental health 🌿
