Place Names – Terrington

Some place names sound less like an actual place and more like a character from a story.

Eavesdropped – Too Faint

Eavesdropped is a drawing game for 1 or more.

You play it like this:

1. Listen out for snippets of conversation you hear as you go about your daily business – people overheard in a cafe, or a fragment of conversation in the street, that kind of thing.

2. Turn the first coherent comment you overhear into a picture.

3. Share the result. And you’re done!

The Reassuring Cat

Come rain, shine or snow this cat sits on the fence post at the bottom of our garden almost every day, and sometimes several times a day. It’s probably on some kind of patrol, or watching the trains. Though its perch looks decidedly uncomfortable, knowing it’ll be back there at some point soon is really quite comforting.

The Railway Museum again

I had a great meet-up last week with my local SCBWI group at the railway museum. It’s always fun to hear what other writers and illustrators are up to and see some of their latest projects. As well as a catch-up we also found time for a look round the museum itself. The place is full of interesting little mechanical bits and pieces. Instead of drawing trains I drew bits of trains and turned them into robots.
