I’m not sleeping too well at the moment and have been waking early, so I’m very appreciative that Bailey is coming to sit with me and keep me company in the early hours. Ounce is staying in the kitchen, curled up with Tabitha — the
I’m using beautiful Bailey to help distract from the fact that I can’t get a decent photo of today’s tea-tray drawing. It’s oddly shiny, which means the text isn’t very readable in a photograph. I’ve included some
