Are you making mountains out of molehills?

How easy was that - less than 5 minutes and yet it’s something I’ve put off, dreaded and spent far too much time worrying about and working around this week. I’ve just this minute deleted the display’s driver on my laptop and it wasn’t the end of the world and mountain I imagined it to […]

I love love love watching Landscape artist of the year - a new season of which started last night here in the UK on Sky. I’ve watched it since its first episode in 2015 and have said for every one of the episodes since that I’d love to learn to paint. I’ve therefore set myself […]
