Solstice ~ Story 1 Illustration

Illustrations for my new Christmas ghost story - the first of four such tales I am working on. All 4 stories revolve around the same Christmas tree over the same few nights between Mid-Winter Solstice and Christmas Day...

 

Amanita

 Time to work on my second Christmas ghost story...

Jade - Hummel's Sunset

I do love this variety of Jade (Crassula ova). It is called Hummel's Sunset. Look at those colours :)

 

Summer Reading

80s pulp horror at its best 😊

T - 2

Making the most of my last two days before I return to work by spending them in the garden. I am so happy the sun is shining 😎

T - 3: Bees in Our Garden Today

I am so pleased that the sun will be shining for the three remaining days of my pandemic lockdown :)

(Curious sundog in the afternoon sky. The bee is in the bottom right corner)

 

Torture Garden

Continuing my run of watching portmanteau horror films of late (without a doubt my favourite movie genre), I watched Torture Garden today. It's a lovely little film, with the first story, about a greedy playboy wanting to get his hands on a horde of witch's gold he thinks his uncle has discovered, easily being easily my favourite stand out tale in the collection :) 

Writer's Block!

Despite her best efforts to hinder my progress, tale one of my portmanteau Christmas ghost story is now complete :)

T - 6 - Nearly There

I am Nearly there. I just have the last scene of my 1st Christmas ghost story to work on now...

T - 7

I am absolutely determined to finish the first tale of my portmanteau novel before I return to my office job next week... 

Sweynes Eye - Issue 12

Issue 12 of my photography zine Sweyne's Eye has now been published:)

T - 8 Days

Listening to The Carpenters as I work on my next book 🙂

T - 9 Days

I have just nine days left of my pandemic lockdown before I return to work :o/ 

Determined to make the most of this time, today I finally managed to completed the latest Sweyne's Eye photography zine. It should be hopefully be published sometime over the next few days :) 

Beautiful Borage

The Borage seeds I sowed back in Spring are now coming into their own :) One of my favourite plants in the world. And they are a magnet for honey bees :)

Bliss

Reading in the sunshine. 😎 With the most beautiful clouds floating in the sky above me. Bliss.
