Drink tea and eat biscuits

A Good Place to Start

If you're new to my website and blog then welcome, this is a good place to start. If you've not come across me or my work before you can find out a little more on my About me page, but briefly I'm an artist, blogger and tea drinker who likes to keep things simple (or at least tries to).

My work and my blog are really about my life, learning to keep things simple and working as an artist. In the late 1990s I was diagnosed with ME/CFS and over the years have learnt a lot about living and working in a sustainable way.

There are a fair few posts on this site and a number of ways you can navigate around.

1. If you’re looking for something specific you could try typing it in the search box in the blue footer of every page.

2. You can navigate back through the posts one by one with the arrows at the bottom of each article – this might take a while :)

3. You can check out the three most recent posts in the blue footer at the bottom of each page.

4. You can click on one of the links in the “similar posts” section in the footer at the bottom of each post.

5. You can find links to the twenty most recent posts in the blog archive, together with drop down links to posts in several different categories.

Here are one or two posts to get you started:
