Haha! Well, I meant Orlando, but the same goes for us all, I guess!
Those two old fellas continue to rock my world.

We are looking at the exterior of the Hall on a beautiful sunny morning. The sky is blue, the plasterwork between the timber frame is a warm butter yellow and the medieval bricks glow in the early spring sunshine. The flowerbed in front of the Hall has crocuses in white, lilac and purple and the snow drops are waving goodbye as the yellow narcissi pop up to say hello.
What’s better than a medieval guild hall?
A medieval guild hall in the early spring sunshine that’s what! ☀️
The truth of being a #spaniel owner...

I'm quite pleased with this little pen and ink, especially the shadowing - something I've never managed to do in this medium before.
Next challenge: get better at positioning the picture on the page. There is a very abrupt stop to this tree!

North Ronaldsay's sheep are renowned for their unusual diet of seaweed—but their eating habits aren't a new phenomenon 🐏
By analysing over 100 Neolithic sheep teeth, archaeologists have shown that sheep in Orkney were grazing on seaweed over 4,500 years ago: www.digitscotland.com/the-archaeol...

First mentioned in Roman sources over 1,700 years ago as a collective name for troublesome, barbaric peoples, the Picts went on to become the dominant kingdom in northern Britain 💪

And it's not just the adults who love Taking Wing. Here's a fan letter from a young reader who also loves our #BookOfTheWeek.
#BookSky #MGLit #KidsLit #BookReviews #BookRecommendations
For today's #BookOfTheWeek post, we asked Clemency to sum up Taking Wing for you all. Here's what she said:
"Modern adventure meets Anglo-Saxon myths. A fast-paced adventure enjoyed by adults and middle grade readers."
