Art During a Heatwave / Night Work
So last Monday/Tuesday where I live had a heatwave – which is unusual for the UK. Bushy Park registered 39.2C beating the previous record, and nearby Heathrow registered 40.2C and Kew Gardens 40.1C, a record only beaten by 0.1 by a place in Lincolnshire.

Mirkwood: Richmond Park’s Spooky Forest
The Dead Tree Series isn’t dead…it’s been only sleeping then over the Spring and Summer it reawakened when I found the spooky woods in Richmond Park. I thought I’d post these before Halloween (don’t worry it wont be a 16,000 word tome like the first Jurassic Jaunt..ouch!)! These gnarled twisty old trees are sandwiched between…
