The second butterfly of 2025 presented itself today: a Compton Tortoiseshell (Nymphalis l-album).
It was licking up the salty runoff on the road.

The magnolia buds are getting bigger

Spring is approaching, and my leather workshop is filling up with cherry blossoms and dragonflies, ready to decorate your bags!
I'm currently making butterflies with the same pattern/idea and I can't wait to show them to you too! Are you more of a dragonfly or butterfly fan?

It’s funny how 7 Celsius (or about 45 Fahrenheit) feels chilly in November but warm in March.

Thank you, Nature. For everything.

The Spring melt has the streams pretty full

Es wird Frühling, die Flics sprießen wieder aus den Straßen.

Le printemps arrive, les flics bourgeonnent à nouveau dans les rues.

Spring is coming. Les flics (Gendarmerie) are sprouting from the streets again.

Some pretty bluebirds from my spring collection, happy Friday!

I haven't drawn for ages. But yesterday was so lovely: we museum animators made lots of mistakes (spring?), swore and giggled like schoolchildren, cracked silly jokes, and enjoyed the sun and the visitors. Someone showed me a crocheted frog and in the evening, I had to put my mood on paper.
Of course, we were shocked by politics but we shared stories about the heros who resist and talked about more creative ideas.

We enjoyed a beautiful walk along the Darent Valley Path from Chequers pub to Dartford station yesterday. Highlights include a mossy roof, signposts, a boggy field of green grass, and Canada geese at Brooklands Lake

Sunbathing beside the flowers

#SpringIsComing and I feel like it is going to be glorious this year. Went for a 2.5mi walk at lunch time yesterday. The sky was cloudy but blue today and for the next week
