Three things I can’t live without*
My journal. This is the one I used in Prague. It is from Texas Art Supply. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the brand, but it has watercolor paper in it. Right now, I am in a 5.5″ x 8.5″ Strathmore Sketch, which is a book I use a lot when I feel the need for spirals [...]

The UK clocks changed today, falling back one hour. When we first moved out to the Shire, I watched a Windsor Castle DVD [...]
