A fast turnaround was required for this flyer. I received text and the image on Wednesday and printed copies were delivered to my client on Friday - sticking to my mantra 'fast, friendly and reliable'. 😍

Sally would like to know if she gets extra treats with it being 'National Black Dog Day'.

'Today's office'.

This afternoon was spent on a guided tour of a local village to gather information and inspiration for an Information board. What a joy it was too. I think my highlights were seeing dozens of Swallows on the newly dug pond and seeing that 'Merlin' had picked up on the sound of a Buzzard. I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into this project, and working closely with the immensely talented Jane Bottomley - I certainly don't know any other illustrator that would put so much effort into research.

We were asked by the client how long we'd worked together - quick calculations as we first met when I was expecting my first son, Toby = 43 years!!!

The ice creams and cold water afterwards were most welcome.

Sally isn’t a show dog but we entered a Tibetan Terrier fun dog show yesterday (a combined breed club FunFest) - she only managed to get first in the Veteran group!
