A bowl of ripe plums

It has been a fair while, friends.  Particularly if we aren't waving over to each other on Instagram already. 

Still.

Here's a watercolour peace offering for a hot summer's day in Hackney. Started left handed with willow twigs, finished right handed as best as could be given the wily qualities of watercolour , of shifting light and shifting goalposts.

away for a while

Here's the front of the card I designed for our wedding invitation. 

The pomegranates were inspired by the garden outside our cottage in Ibiza where we got engaged last autumn. I ate ripe figs and pomegranates every day - how could I not when they were hanging on the trees in the garden all around us? 

Heaven. 

I'm off to Cape Town today, to get married in a few weeks. Back mid March, five whole weeks of sun and celebration.
