School's out for summer! The kids have broken up and one of the perks of being self-employed is being able to pick and choose your hours, so it's the end of term for me too! Have a lovely summer and I'll be back in September.

I’ve had the pleasure of working on another Victorian family bible restoration project, this time with York Bookbinding, whose client wanted to add a family tree of sorts, tracing their paternal line back through the generations. 📖

Earlier this year, my weekly classes at embarked on a project inspired by Jane Austen, as 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of her birth. We illustrated her quotes using a range of calligraphy styles and then had them turned into postcards.

Now this is the kind of networking I like! Enjoying the NECA garden in South Shields as part of today’s Pledge South Tyneside coffee morning. It’s tucked between a housing estate, a dual carriageway and a railway line, but it’s an absolute oasis of calm! @STyneBusiness

This handwritten poem (A Life Entwined) was a thoughtful anniversary gift commissioned by a proud father for his son and daughter-in-law. And the verdict? “Thank you very much. I’m sure (they) will cherish this for many years to come.”
