Drawing essentials.....

Yesterday was a chance for me to go and have a look at Paperchase, http://www.paperchase.co.uk/ at the Morpeth branch. It was fantastic, its like walking into an Aladdin's cave! I bought a few things, but the one which I have tried is the "Fine liner multi coloured pens-pack of 12"  According to the website:
A set of fine liner pens in a rainbow of different colours is an absolute stationery essential. This set of 12 comes in a thick plastic zip-up pouch. So whether you have precise drawing or design projects to do or multi-coloured doodles to draw, they are ideal. Measures 125x155x10mm.
Here is them in action:......

Stunning design...

Just a quick drawing......

These can be bough in store or online for £4! Check back for more updates.....

I will be doing and updated planner review, gardening update and videos relating to that... so watch the space.....

Trad fest weekend!

Well hello friends, long time no see! As you may have guested by the title is post is all about my weekend away to Edinburgh for Trad fest!

The weekend was fantastic, I had booked tickets to go and see The Scottish Bagpipes: Past Present and Future and also Scottish Piping Concert. Both were on Sunday; one at 2;30 and the other at 7;30 at Teviot Row House. Other things were the May Day Parade which went down the Royal Mile, and my chance to explore the North side of Edinburgh including Leith.  Here are the pics,.....
