One of my favourite simple pleasures is starting a new sketch book! A very quick study of a slender brittlegill whist the little one was napping. Happy Autumn Equinox. X #fungi #russula #natureillustration #botanicalartAdonis blue butterfly, one of the jewels of the Sussex Downs. #sussex #butterfly #natureillustrationThere are a few sensory experiences that completely orientate me in a particular time of year; the first taste of spring nettles, the scent of violet or hawthorn on the breeze and the smell of elderberries simmering in the kitchen are all examples. There's something about elderberry that gives me such a sense of nurture and wellbeing. I always make a few batches of syrup with different additions, I particularly love orange peel and clove. I had some wonderful helpers too! #elderberry #sambucus #kitchenmagic #herbalmedicineCan there be anything more lovely than the tiny beauty of eyebright? They are like little angles with big golden hearts. Usually there is a lot of eyebright growing on the Downs but this year I haven't seen any in my usual spots, I assume because of th dry weather. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has seen much? #eyebright #euphrasia #sussex #southdowns
