New Project

Some drawings from a flower project I am currently working on, just thought I would share a few.

Old Photos

While clearing out my mums bedroom we found some old black and white pictures of my dad. Its strange seeing him so young. I often forgot how long he had been alive, I guess I was always too busy thinking about the "now" and trying to move forward that it never really occurred to me, to stop and ask questions about what it was like when he was younger. I remember some stories, but others are memories which are slowly disappearing. Even if i cannot know what he was like when he was young and the things he had to go through, I still know that he was an amazing father.

All is quiet

Something to brighten up the day

London crumbling

London "rioting" seems to be settling a bit now, seems about right seeing as they have destroyed all they can and stolen what they want. I just hope that everyone who has lost their livelihood and their homes can bounce back from this.
It was worrying to think that just down the road there were people burning cars and breaking into shops.
Two young girls taking part in all this said on the news that it was the governments fault, but didn't know why, and stated they were only doing it to the "rich" people with the businesses, showing them what they could do. How is a small local cash and carry shop owner a rich person? And why break into a charity shop? How about asking the person you dragged out of their car by their hair if they were rich before you torched their car? It had nothing to do with them being rich, it was all to do with people out for what they could get.
Everyone who has been damaged by these acts of vandalism worked hard for what they had, and the thought of stealing from others wouldn't cross their minds. I hope, and I believe they will be able to come back from all of this; being much stronger in the long run.
