Fountainpen sketch of a rooftops and trees.
The rooftops of Inch House with chimneys and wee turret. Lots of trees in front and to the side, including ones that are taller than the building.
Distant shot of second photo with the addition of rugby posts and a nearby tree trunk at right hand side.
A rather rain splattered sketch of Inch House through the trees today! Fortunately the really heavy rain waited until sketch was finished! 🤣
A6 sketchbook and fountainpen.

The Post Office is trying to close the Strathearn Road parcel office. This petition is trying to fight against closure which is likely to mean local people having to go a considerable distance to pick up parcels.

I thought that Inch House looks a bit like a fairytale castle when glimpsed through the trees today.

These free 30-minute webinars are run by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and are available to book throughout the year.

Have thoroughly enjoyed #drawingaugust both participating in and seeing the work of other people - though I have missed a few days!

Watercolour painting of three juvenile Ringed Plover on a beach with low grey rocks and some seaweed
Nice to see some recently fledged Ringed Plover at Redcar this week - lovely scalloped feathers and less boldly masked than the adults.

28.08.2025 08:43 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.
Is the BBC Reform UK's mouthpiece? Yup.
"Researchers at Cardiff University have produced a detailed analysis of every episode of the BBC’s flagship Question Time programme broadcast between September 2014 and July 2023 to see if the broadcaster was balancing political viewpoints."
