A rather bleary eyed morning following a rare night out in blackheath with my best friend Val....I must be showing my age, pimms and lemonade with a cheeky glass of merlot halfway through. Thankfully blackheath is still much calmer than central london hence our choice for a get together and proper chin wag. This morning its a brief trip into tow for a spot of retail therapy and then this evening it will be some more work on a new lino pattern Im drawing - what will eventally be a very intricate and exotic paisley with floral accents throughout....but first a glass of water and panadol..
