When you see their social life is more active than yours! #doodleaday #parenting

It may be a sweaty business, but I love it!

London theatre trip with my 2 girls… what a treat! Such good company - I’m a lucky chap. #doodleaday

I’m not complaining - I like being busy - but the scheduling is going to need to be a work of art!!! #doodleaday

So near, and yet so far. Oh well, it’s a start! #doodleaday #fitnessfail

I might give it a go from time to time… although it feels weird not to be ‘doing’… #doodleaday #busybrain

Time to harvest what you have sown… x #doodleaday

Laughter and friendship around tables with easels and paint - what’s not to love? Love leading these events. #doodleaday #artworks

Teenagers: they are expensive creatures for sure! Well, at least he’s interested in getting good nutrition (he’s working out a LOT!). #doodleaday #feedingteenagers

I know there’s probably a sense of Deja vu for those of you who’ve been following me a while. Yes, he’s trying again to get himself into a good fitness habit. Oh well, one day it’ll stick… here we go! #doodleaday #fitnessjourney

Loved the tv show, love the podcast… In another life, I would have loved to be an archaeologist. #doodleaday #podcastheaven

I love my zoom sessions with them but it’s 100 times better when we get to be in the same room. Sharing art. The best gift… #doodleaday #artmatters

We still talk about her every day, and we smile. It’s not hard to see her in Lily and Ben - the ripples still continue and always will. #doodleaday #widowerlife #loveafterloss

We can learn a lot from them. #doodleaday #artworks #artmatters

Being an artist isn’t what you do, it’s who you ARE - and I wouldn’t have it any other way!! #doodleaday #artistlife #artmatters #artworks

Mind you, it was fun! Actually looking forward to going back for more tomorrow! Lots more ideas, which is just as well, as they steamed through loads today! #doodleaday #artmatters #artworks

So many projects on the go - my diary is becoming a work of art I. Itself. Talk about scheduled down to the last minute!!! #doodleaday

Weeding in the rain - definitely the way to go!!! I’m not a natural gardener but I could get used to it!!! #doodleaday #simplepleasures

Once again, another day that reminded me just how important art can be. To see kids so enthused and engaged was just glorious. #doodleaday

Certainly could see her mum up there. Lily is very much her own performer but such strong echoes of Joy. Love it. #doodleaday

The daily reminder is a blessing - a gift that keeps the memory alive. #doodleaday #alwayswithus

It’s so lovely to be able to share some of the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years: to see a young person with a passion for art at the start of their journey. Really hope to do more of this… #doodleaday #artistlife #zoomtutoring

My body keeps telling me it wants to run again… not sure it knows what it’s doing but I guess I’ll give it a go. Not sure when yet. Need to psych myself up a bit first! #doodleaday #fitnessjourney

It’s the same every year… sunshine, iced coffee and jingle bells!!! #doodleaday #creativelife

There’s that moment we go from eagle eyed watching to giving them their wings… and it’s so hard now to remember when that changed! #doodleaday #parentingjourney

I love these events. When people arrive and say “I can’t paint” and the look on their face when they go home with something to be proud of. Everyone finding their own style… it’s just wonderful. Gives me a fuzzy glow! #doodleaday #artworks

Always such a lovely evening. Live storytelling is so much fun - a real privilege to be invited back. X #doodleaday

I’ve been very impressed how well he focused and took it seriously. Bit proud right now. And Lily doing her work experience as a PE teacher at her old school. Quite a week! #doodleaday

I’m sure someone’s change the size of all my doorways, moved everything when I’m not looking and tilted all the floors… oh wait: no, I’m now just THAT clumsy!!! Lisa tells me I rush around too much… she may be right. #doodleaday

Proper ‘old man’ bruise. Not only that, my shins are a battlefield and I keep getting mysterious cuts on my head!!! I love getting older!!!! #doodleaday
