I used to get so many orders for maps from EU countries. When Brexit came into effect in 2019 EU shoppers dwindled - it’s about a FIFTH what it used to be. A proper customs union would do so much to help fix our broken economy, from huge export industries down to small businesses like me. 🤞

Wow! 🤩 Thank you so much to all my new followers!!! I’m still working through following people back 👍

I’m currently working on a #map of Ports & Madeiras. These are all the vineyards in the Douro Valley. This is about 10x speed! Wish I could write this fast IRL 😆 #wip #drawing #Portugal #Port #Madeira

If you want to try dip pen cartography Kevin has a couple blog posts about it. I've peeked at his website. He does stunning maps. So, he knows what he's doing!

Wow! So many new followers 😃 Thank you all so much!!!
