Headline news today.. a few "asylum seekers" fiddle the system to gain entry to the UK. In other news.. the Pope IS catholic and bears DO shit in the woods. How is this headline news? Meanwhile chances of AMOC tipping point increase from 5 to 50%... not mentioned.

On the way to producing my first new canvases for a while. Been hard to motivate this year but up and running now! This one is another great tree in a Dorset Holloway near Beaminster. It has a little cave beneath it.. very Tolkien!
