Donovan

Do you remember Donovan? He is seventy eight years old now and lives in County Cork, Ireland - not far from Dave Northsider - our esteemed blogging colleague. Donovan's full name is Donovan Phillips Leitch and he was born in Glasgow, Scotland though both of his grandmothers were Irish. I must confess that when Donovan broke into the British folk-pop scene in the mid-sixties I was drawn to his music. It was pure, simple and unprocessed, driven principally by the lyrics. His output owed things variously to the hippy movement, to Bob Dylan and to anti-war artists. I saw him in concert three or four times and many years later saw him here in Sheffield. However, it didn't seem as those he had advanced. I even learnt to play several of his songs on my guitar, including the following one which many would argue is his best and best-known song - typical of him in his heyday. Please listen... In the East Yorkshire village where I grew up, my best friend during my teens was a lad ca...

HELLO TO YOU

I've been back since last Tuesday and enjoying being home again although I haven't been motivated to do any sketching.  It always feels so good to be home after almost a week away.  It was a beautiful time of year to go to Washington and I had such a good time with my family.  I came across the illustration below awhile back and I love to look at it to identify various tree leaves in fall.  This was created by Kristin Link  and if you click on her last name it will take you to her blog.  I hope she doesn't mind that I posted this photo on my blog. I enjoy her website and it's worth a look - I notice she has a wild pesto recipe that sounds delicious!  Pesto is my very favorite sauce ever. So how's it going and are you seeing any dramatic tree colors in your area.  I love this time of year and am always out and about photographing the beauty of fall.  Here is a photo of one of my favorite places to go and watch the leaves turn as I sit across the lake at one of the ou...

I prepared a Sunday roast feast today. We had to extend out Victorian pine table by adding an old drop leaf table from the greenhouse. It worked out fine. Shirley put linen tablecloths over the whole shebang. All the people I love the most were in attendance: Shirley, Frances, Stew, Phoebe, Margot, Ian, Sarah and Zachary. The menu included roasted loin of pork, vegan nut roast, apple sauce, sage and onion stuffing, tender stem broccoli, roasted carrots and parsnips, roasted potatoes and two types of homemade gravy. This was followed by a homemade apple crumble using the last of the usable apples from our garden with vanilla custard or vegan ice cream. And of course there was water and fine wine to drink. I got to sit next to Margot who remains such a lovable child. She can mimic "mamama" and "dadada" now and when she stands without assistance for twenty seconds or more she is very proud of herself - clapping and laughing when she finally drops to the floor.
