Back to my snowy kingdom! With a load of delicious things in my suitcase, chocolates, biscuits, jams and brioche, goat cheese, watercolours, toys for my girls and luminaries. Relaxing now in my sanctuary after an exhausting long trip. I dusted off my altar (one of them) and I'm sipping a cup of tea before setting up the Yule tree. A magical day...

I would have thought I’d have as a spirit animal helper an owl, or a stag, a fox, a dragon or even an otter but nope. My “patronus” is a tiger, and he’s outrageously yellow, like the sun. I dreamed about him again last night. I was playing fetch with him. He also “petted” me, his huge paws on my shoulders. But since it was a dream, I was strong enough to not fall over under his weight.

This is a work in progress, the other half of the painting on the right side which is just drafted. I’m in a mood for snow!
