One of the most beautiful artworks is Leonardo da Vinci’s (1452-1519) cartoon (c1506), now in the London National Gallery. A cartoon is the original name for a preparatory drawing for a painting. Such is the beauty of the work it has been treasured ever since it was created!

Christmas Eve night, o what a sight Santa's elves had a fight Down the pub at a quarter past ten Jaz shoved Darren and Darren punched Len Now they're all with the police Charged with disturbing the peace. #christmas #poetry

Christmas time is coming the goose is getting fat Please close the door or it will be inside the cat #poetry

O now carry me to B & M To see the Christmas sales again I'm as poor as a church mouse, but then The credit card is in my name #christmas #poetry

stars loosen their silver echoes into my bones #haiku

Burnt roast potatoes & dogs dressed as Santa Red wine for me & my daughter's got Fanta Santa is wearing a glittery beard - Is it just me, or is Christmas quite weird? When the bells ring & the choirs sing & we're playing Snap! I simply remember that Christmas is here & then I don't feel so crap.

I'm thinking of a wet Christmas And taking on a heap of debt - All that tat I bought, I now regret And now all my Christmases are wet. #poetry

I'm thinking of a wet Christmas Just like the one we had last year We walked the doggy and all got soggy And drank an excess of craft beer. #poetry

Ooh, what a lovely description @anniearyfridd.bsky.social @jeanietrefaldwyn.bsky.social @maelbrigde.bsky.social

O the weather outside is frightful And X is very spiteful Since Christmas is down the drain Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. #poetry

The 25th of November is St Catherine's feast day. "This isn't about God, the stained-glass legends of broken wheels, the barrowload of miracles, or the dinner-plate halo they will nail to your head. Under the gospel, the truth of it: woman answers back, ends up dead." - Rosie Garland

Some days grief's dull weight Holds me under the surface A rock in my chest #haiku

We are nearing midwinter, the time the Lightbringers guard and return the light to us If you are in need for a gift for someone who struggles in winter or a secret Santa gift, then consider one of my books. Story books for adults, gentle seasonal hope. Signed on my website or ask lovely bookshop

“I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend… if you have one.” — George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill Churchill’s reply: “Cannot possibly attend first night; will attend second—if there is one.”

raking leaves ~ the wind and I can’t quite agree: one for you, one for me… #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt (rake)

According to accounts by the monk Bede, Cuthbert would stand in the cold North Sea for prayer. When he would emerge, otters would come to the shore to warm his feet with their breath and fur. This led to him becoming the patron saint of otters. Art my own. #Folklore #Otter #Cuthbert #Art
