This is one of my favorite pieces by my father. My father looking back at the viewer, with familiar objects on his desk, the oil lamp, the binoculars (featured in a Perkins story) and the two cats; Tooty and Cleo. The setting was our front room looking out to a stormy night over Swansea bay.
This is one of my favorite pieces by my father. I was twenty one when he drew this. My father looking back at the viewer, with familiar objects on his desk, the oil lamp, the binoculars (featured in a Perkins story) and the two cats; Tooty and Cleo. Tooty is the older black and white cate scraping at the window to be let in. The setting was our front room looking out to a stormy night over Swansea bay. Here my dad would sit with his art materials, a can of beer and either write or create wonderful artwork like this.

One of my dad’s many paintings of Swansea bay. Looking out across the snow covered rooftop’s of Mount Pleasant disappearing across the Sandfields and into the bay. I used to wake up as a kid, wishing for snow for Xmas to see this Scene.

Came across this beautiful Watercolour painting. The artist was unknown, which is a shame. I love the way they captured the expression and the colour and rendition is superb. Just a simple painting but not, a master class in Watercolour.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

This came up on my Dad’s Facebook memory feed. His college day’s on a Rag Parade. They were all dressed as Spartacus (Kirk Douglas’ movie must have been popular at this time) and chained together. Dad wrote the poem below as a tribute to two of his former college friends that had passed away.

Wow - Jean E Carroll wins against Trumps appeal. Not only does Trump owe Jean E Carroll over $83 million dollars in Damages - it is official the ruling that Donald Trump is guilty of sexual assault still stands. The only President of the United States also guilty of sexually assaulting a woman.

My Dad Posted this years ago. Every now and again I come across his post that strikes a chord in my memory. Dad was a great swimmer, he always had this knack of being able to lie prone still and just float effortessly. We would look on with envy.

Morning folks 😊 ☕️ It’s sunny Monday! Lovely to see a bit of blue back. Have a good day 🌸
View of the South Gower coast to Mumbles Head and the old coastguard station shining white in the sun. Blue sea with white surf breaking on the rocks and mostly blue sky with cloud in the distance.
