The Devil's Kneading Trough, Kent Downs

 

Made it to the Devil’s Kneading Trough, finally. Began this picture up there but the terrifically daft stop / start rain meant I finished this at my desk. Also, while atop gawking at the view and learning about chalk rock landforms, (the information states it is "like a bashed in hard boiled egg"), realised it features in Russell Hoban’s ‘Riddley Walker’, as MR CLEVVER’S ROALING PLACE. Now I want to visit more R.W. locations in the area!

 

Cherry Grove

 I made a farewell drawing of the dying cherry tree in my garden, before me and my dad chopped it down.

Chicken Sitting

Charlotte Prodger Wee

A comic inspired by my trip to meet the Borrowdale Yews in Cumbria. You can read more about that on my Meeting Trees blog.

Snowdrop Inn, Lewes

Found a very pretty pub on a sunny day in Lewes, Sussex. Discovered Burning Sky's 'Arise' they had an impressive crisp selection to boot.

Dreamy scenes from a wee holiday beside Loch Voil

Lucky to visit Tuarach again, home of Les and Juan. Here at their home beside Loch Voil they run a sheep farm, while various wooden huts now welcome visitors, but once housed the LEGENDARY West Highland Animation studios. Maybe it will return for production some day... The sun completely ruined my packing by shining for all 4 days! Not depicted: tooth ceremony conducted in the ancient stone circle, summoning the (London based) tooth fairy, necessary after Lois's front tooth fell out.
