Maundy Thursday - Last Supper by Stanley Spencer
Stanley Spencer: Last Supper, 1920, oil on canvas, 91.5 x 122 cm. I'm quite partial to Stanley Spencer's work.

This is life, right now
This is the first blog I have ever done. It’s a big step for me because a couple of years ago I could not bear to contribute anything to the internet for fear of how others might take it.

I still don’t post particularly personal things on facebook, but now, five years after signing up for an Etsy shop, I have finally convinced myself to start selling through it. It was three years ago I got a job that I
