This month's theme for Postcards was 'School'. I found this surprisingly difficult and my first attempt was trashed. Then after a good night's sleep I completed this one before breakfast.

In a pickle

This is the final entry for Cath and Roc's Postcard challenge - so poor Pumpkin, always in a pickle, concluded with this balancing act. The faces are avatars of some of my friends.

Gladys meets the neighbours

Having completed my little sequence of bird cards I have finished off with a postcard. Gladys has gone to greet the new neighbours. I move to other fields now (witches for Halloween?) - but I expect Gladys will return someday...

Don't ask!

Roger visits weight watchers

I celebrate the start of every new term - and the fact that I have retired - by taking my wife out for a good lunch. Today we dined on quiche with salad, and fruit crumble. Afterwards I drew this rather chubby red squirrel.

Robin the Brave

This is for a series of four ATC's which have to be on print. I like pictures that tell a story. What happens next? Has he met Gladys? (Below)

Gladys

Our feathered friends are such fun - they can be graceful, threatening, or just plain silly. Here is Gladys, dressed in her pearls ready for a night out with the gals.
