A new project: I have written a story about the first people to settle on what was an island, where Great Yarmouth stands now, in the year 888. Two Saxon brothers decide to build houses on the island of Gernemutha, and take their families across to live there. They will be better placed to take advantage of the herring fishing in the autumn. But there are many problems to be overcome, and danger lurks at all times: although East Anglia is ruled by a Dane, King Guthrum, still Viking raids persist until the time of William the Conqueror. An illustrated children's book will hopefully see the light of day before Christmas! Top: Herewulf Gathers Mussels in the Great Estuary.

Man with Two Yellow Carrier Bags and a Backpack, King Street (Watercolour 38x57cm) Pizza Delivery Man, King Street (Watercolour 38x57cm) I decided recently to honour my adopted town by painting a series of urban scenes featuring some of the spectacular architecture which abounds in this ancient town. Here are are two examples, which will be on show in The Forum, Norwich, between 29th June and 2nd July. I will be sharing the space with 3 talented friends, also IEA members: artists Pauline Sexton, Kimberley Walker, and Nicholas Sutton. We are calling ourselves "Connected Four"
