It's officially the start of Spring, but I've been noticing a lot of parading and pairing up on the Thames for a while now. The mallards are looking particularly handsome. #SpringEquinox #LifeOnTheThames

Moved out of my studio this week but in the process re-disovered some hidden gems that I didn't just want to wrap up & put away again.
Lots of affordable original drawings appearing on my Etsy page now. etsy.com/uk/shop/emmashoard
