A Very Long Engagement...Card
A panorama done on the move: the changing view on the crossing between Rum and Arisaig. Taking in the mountains of Skye, Knoydart, and Lochaber. Watercolour on cheap lion brand blank postcards.
And a special envelope made from the Companies & Markets pages of the FT.

A Drawing for A Dram
He was a rigger in recalibration after a stint of night shifts.
A large dram was administered as I sat outside drawing. John sat on the other bench with the bottle of Bushmills. He wore a jumper forgotten on the pulley by another (smaller) hosteler. A couple more draughts were drawn before he disappeared rig-lagged into his room.
I don't know where this drawing is now, possibly on an oil rig miles out into the North Sea. Autumn migration south may have taken it to a different beach hut. A swap: heather and reed thatch for palm.

A Tale of Two Saddles
I made a wee sketch of a tandem aboard the MV Loch Portain, the Berneray to Harris Ferry. The sketch went home with the owners of the bike, lovely Alan & Wendy, who we had met the day before.
The tandem has been Alan & Wendy's mode of transport on adventures all over the world, while we are touring novices; it was great to chat panniers and packing with them.
This week Alan & Wendy sent a photograph of the drawing, up on their wall alongside mementos from their other trips.
A & W also did a tour blog - warning - this site has quantities of powerfully diverting reading material!
