oh sweet february.

I've always had a soft spot for the month of February. It probably has a lot to do with it being my birthday month, but it also signals the start of Spring. The weather may still be cold but the snowdrops will bloom and you can see traces of daffodils and wild garlic intrepidly bursting out of the earth. 

This first week of February has been particularly beautiful. Blue skies, little wind (that's significant for us!) and even warm sunshine! Perfect walking and exploring weather.

It also felt like an especially productive week in the studio, with a big batch of work started for Manx National Heritage, and a photoshoot with Phil Kneen.
