Some of you may have noticed my absence over the last few weeks, well, sorry but I was rather poorly. Thankfully now I am well on the mend.

Sadly the exhibition in Fordingbridge had to be cancelled, however the gallery were pleasantly understanding and are giving me a fresh date later in the new year. Thankfully the Guildford exhibition was all framed and ready, so a very good friend hung it for me; thanks John.

Slowly I am getting back to normal thankfully and am back working with Mind and other organisations.

As a cold snap it with us at present I thought that a coloured pencil mountain snow sketch from the Peak District would be appropriate. It was done some years ago whilst sitting in my car right on the top of Stannage Edge. It was even to cold for me. The wind was howling, the snow flying and I just was not prepare to rough it enough and sit outside. So this was produced from the relative comfort of my little Skoda.
