Colouring In

Hi all,
Have you noticed that the latest adult craze appears to be colouring in. Every where I go there are stacks of books devoted to what used to be a child's pastime. I guess colouring in can be therapeutic and I'm sure it is better than sitting in front of the telly watching brain numbing programmes like Big Brother etc. I don't know whats happened to the telly, how many programmes can they make about "Lizard Lick Towing" and it's a wonder that the tapes containing "Grand Designs" and "Come Dine With Me" aren't worn out.

Anyway, back to the colouring in. Anything arty is a winner with me and if people get pleasure from colouring in that's great. What would be even better is if a small percentage of the people, who have started colouring in, actually went a step further and decided to create their own drawings.

I recently did a couple of drawings to remember days out and now realise that they could just as well have been done for a colouring in book. If ever I get the time and inclination I might colour them in myself. Please feel free to take a copy if you want to have a go.

The drawing above was inspired by a visit to a lovely village in Derbyshire called Osmaston.

This drawing was inspired by a picnic we had while sitting in our car during the summer. Butterflies were flitting about everywhere.

By the way, I currently have a free book on offer over the Christmas period. It is the second book in the fishing detectives series called "Bun In The Oven.
