I really like this misty photo I took the other morning, but I'm not sure it looks like mist unless you know. #bexhill #photography #misty

One of the illustrations currently on display as part of the Curious Agenda arts festival. The theme is 'Play'. I show 'new folk' creatures taking a break from their mythical terrorising. Until 1 June, top floor of St Andrew's Mews, Hastings. #cars #art #illustration #folkart #hastings #bexhill

The clouds were delicately painted on the sky one morning last week. #clouds #photography #bexhill

Jack in the Green in Hastings. Great fun. #jackinthegreen #photography #hastings

Just phenomenal really 🥹 youtu.be/ocU8QOXypHs?...

#nowplaying this #jazz LP by Yesterday's New Quintet. #madlib

#nowplaying Magnetic Eyes by Jeff Phelps. Early, soulful electronic music. Not sure what year it's from, sounds early 80s. Beautiful sounds.

#nowlistening to Doris Duke. #soul #music

#nowplaying a record I had forgotten existed: Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens. #soul

Pevensey Castle. Was passing by and the clouds looked good. #photography #castle #pevensey

#nowplaying Extractions by Dif Juz. A bit of mellow #shoegaze #80smusic

The sky was so #pink above the horizon at sunset yesterday. This #notrothko is looking SSW from #bexhill and has #nofilter #photography

A 'cuppybara' made by Echo for Mother's Day. Too cute not to share, sorry. #mothersday #kidsart #capybara

#Bexhill beach at low tide this evening was quite stunning. Could taste the summer in the air. #photography #coast #spring

Passed me by at the time, but it sounds fairly timeless. #nowplaying New Ways by CC Dust m.youtube.com/watch?v=MMjH...

Just finished another read of Michael Rosen's You're Thinking About Donuts. One of my favourite childhood books, I love laughing along now with my daughter. Oddly, I'd not realised the illustrations were by Chris Riddle. This image captures the madness! #michaelrosen #childrensbooks #illustration

Just back from #Bexhill beach. The sea is a beautiful crystalline green today, especially as the waves roll, as I tried to capture here. #photography #nofilter #sea

A crow was modelling for me yesterday evening. #photography #lines

#nowplaying this #jazz oddesy, or oddity, from George Duke. I never quite know what to make of it, but there are lots of wonderful moments within. #jazzfusion

A quick #watercolour #portrait of mine. It has something, I think. Not much, but something. #art #painting #sketchbook #illustrator

This morning's #picturebook to share is a sweet little story by Hope Lim showing a child's perspective of the world as she travels on her parents bike, gently illustrated by Hyewon Yum; I Am A Bird. #illustration #birds #childrensbookd

Saturday evening glow in #Bexhill. #photography

#nowplaying Deface The Music by Utopia. Possibly the most Beatles sounding record, after the Rutles. Life Goes On is a treat, though. A lost McCartney track. #beatles #utopia

#nowplaying the psychedelic Status Quo. #60s #pop

A cold but brilliantly sunny day in Hastings. Empty fairgrounds are great, aren't they? #phonephotography #rollercoaster #photography #nofilter

#Bexhill in the sun.

Enjoyed the use of colour, loose pencil marks & subtle collage of this sweet #picturebook. Also, little felt so disappointing and degraded as finding a previous child's colouring in, when I was young - so this page resonated! #childrensbooks #books #illustration

Never miss a chance for some impromptu education. #nowplaying Devo after listening to the new Chappell Roan with Echo and seeing the accompanying image (cover or artwork doesn't feel right here). Her verdict; quite liked the quirkiness, especially the outfits and them as potatoes.

#nowplaying this excellent piece of sixties French pop 'Rougre-Rouge' by Christie Laume. #frenchpop

Today's sea was a deep green blue. This just about captures the beautiful light on the surface, although the strip of clouds on the horizon felt like a glimpse of a faraway land, in reality. #seascape #bexhill #photography

I'll try to share more picture books I love. My Red Hat by Rachel Stubbs is a beautifully illustrated story. I love the muted colours and the minimal lines. The story is a perfect demonstration of the blurred line children have between imagination and reality. #picturebooks #illustration #books

The De La Warr looking good in the sunset last night. #bexhill #delawarr #photography

Tonight's mist on the horizon was lovely. Not a spectacular sky but beautiful hazy colours. #bexhill

Here's the #worldbookday costume; I Am Rebel by Ross Montgomery receiving the accolade this year.

#nowplaying one of my favourite soundtracks.

An old Valentine's card from Echo, but worth recycling, I thought. Love is true!

#nowplaying Have to admit, despite playing Greg Foat's other albums regularly, I'd forgotten about this LP from 2017. #jazz

Today's listening. Started quite lively but progressed pretty quickly to the comfort of jazz.

The yellow looked more yellow, and the green more green, with my eyes. Still quite like the colours here though. #phonephotography

Today's listening. No duds. #nowplaying

I love when the sun shines in the face of a thunderous sky. Amplified today by the light De La Warr building in Bexhill.

Yesterday's #nowplaying So not now playing at all, but you know what I mean. The DC album has that pleasing combination of sounding fresh each listen, yet soothingly familiar at the same time. Like seeing a friend who has changed over the years yet remains undeniably them.

A grey day in Bexhill.

Frosty abandoned school jumper.

Reading Molesworth on a Sunday morning and discover the possible origin of Hogwarts. Apparently, J K Rowling has explained she was inspired by the plant but she has read Molesworth so the association was in her subconscious.

Two bods on the horizon. (Without them, the photo is nothing).

Posting this interview I did with J.G.Ballard in late summer 1978: future projections www.jgballard.ca/media/1978_r...

Really enjoyed the wall of visitors art within the Raymond Briggs exhibition in Ditchling. And ridiculous out of proportion pride in my daughter's effort, centre bottom row Snowman.

A snap as I was dragged by a puppy around Edgerton Park in #Bexhill

Look at that horizon. Big heavy cloud sitting out there. #bexhill #phonephotography #sky
