Welcome to Morning Ink, where I share my daily fountain pen drawing and whatever thoughts (sometimes none, mostly reasonably short, occasionally long and very rambling) jump out and onto the screen. If you don’t want daily emails you can toggle them off by going to Manage subscription – just turn Morning Ink off, no need to fully unsubscribe!1
Had a lovely day in London yesterday. Cabaret was very good and The Kit Kat Club was impressive.
In case the clues in today’s picture aren’t clear enough, today is my 52nd birthday. And I do need to work. But not too much. And have enjoyed a leisurely Morning Ink while listening to The Archers. Looking forward to some time with my family later and possibly a meal out. And a glass of Prosecco. I did actually stop my Sober October yesterday, as a London day felt like part of my birthday (even though it was actually a birthday treat for my daughter).
Thanks so much for being here. Your presence on its own is a joy, but I love to hear from you, too, so please do feel free to leave a comment. About something that has resonated for you in today’s picture or in today’s words. Or about something completely unrelated. Tell me about your morning, your creative practice, your particular work or life juggling act. Anything. If you want to go even further you can take out a paid subscription – if you’re happy to give me your postal address I'll send you some art of some kind in the post.
And if you don’t like subscriptions (I totally get it!) you can ‘tip me’ instead. But really, your presence and comments are the best rewards – if they could be exchanged for food and electricity, I’d be so very happy.






Wish you a very Happy Birthday Tasha. hope you had a great day
Happy birthday! 🥳
