The Christmas tree is SO PRETTY. I don't want to take it down tomorrow ☹️. (Please don't reply explaining that Twelfth Night isn't until Tuesday; I think it's safe to say I know what's in my diary better than you do. Also, this is not Threads).

I am back home having spent Christmas in Canada. Here is some snow and some elk to prove it. In related news, I now know what -25⁰C feels like (effing cold).

I know you have SO many questions about printmaking. (Yes you DO, it's fascinating, don't argue). So anyway I've finally done a FAQs page.

A volunteer shift at medieval Barley Hall where we have a cheerfully anachronistic tree because CHRISTMAS and what the heck. No visitors have been bothered, but one very angry man passing by outside shouted at me through the window about it, which struck me as a sort of metaphor for Bluesky really.

I genuinely do not understand why people leave ChatGPT comments on Instagram. I mean, he could have just said "Nice 👍" in less time. Mind you, this guy has more than 40k followers so perhaps it works for him and I'm the one doing it wrong when I actually type a comment 🤷♀️

Imagine this is me ready to pack up your online order. I'm hoping this photo is slightly more inviting than the reality of me sitting at the computer doing my tax return, or ironing, or making lunch. Anyway, just a reminder that my shop closes at midday tomorrow.

Early Christmas present to myself for the purposes of studio videos and what I believe you have to call 'content' - a trendy ring light and phone holder with Bluetooth remote control. I'll have a million Instagram followers by the end of January 👍

Nostell Priory has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. Trademark and copyright issues have meant a last minute change to the theme, and staff stress the story is JUST about some children being evacuated and having a lovely holiday, which I hope the ALT text in these pics makes VERY CLEAR.
