I’m entering The Teenager as potential winner of #Duvetknowitschristmas
He’s had to move from his bedroom to the unconverted attic
Cardboard floor & headboard is a nice touch which I’m sure he appreciates
He think it looks like he’s living in a meth den

Excellent thread as always from Emma
🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨
😱Sounds outrageous?
You know the drill…
If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

It's the first day of astronomical autumn. 🍂
The apple tree. Ink on Saunders Waterford HP.
A piece I did back in 2014 as a sample for Crabtree & Evelyn on an apple wassail theme. In the event, C&E decided on a different direction and I didn't get the gig (boo). Still, I got an artwork out of it.
