Grant yourself a moment of peace and you will understand how foolishly you have scurried around.

I’m sure I can manage more than just a moment…..

There is still time to gather hawthorn leaves before the blossom appears in the next couple of weeks. From late March to late April here in the South the hawthorn leaves are sweet, nutty and tender and make a tasty wayside snack or a lovely addition to salads.Another fineliner illustration for my hawthorn study. This time a little wood mouse.Fineliner illustration of a fieldfare. This lovely member of the thrush family spends it's winters in the UK feeding on rowan and hawthorn berries.Spring delights! I love this time of year as it's so easy to forage without making any special effort. There is so much life emerging everywhere.Just made up these tiny A6 size mini prints of my long tailed tit illustration.Most people think of Cleavers as a weed due its habit of sprawling across the ground and the tiny bristles which stick to clothes, hair and animal fur like velcro! However when we destroy it we are missing out on a wonderful herbal remedy which is actually the perfect tonic for this time of year.I'm making slow but steady progress on this jay with its acorn treasure.A quick forage from the garden gives us food, medicine and joy.Nettles, so often overlooked and under appreciated, are really one of the treasures of this time of year. Right now they are still small but over the next month they will grow to be robust and prolific in any corner where they are allowed to spread unhindered.
