Hi from Emily from England :)

@NicolaSchofield Hi Nicola
By coincidence I'm actually moving to a village outside Reading next week! Probably only for a few months though, before moving again, but I just saw on your instagram about a Reading sketching group so perhaps I might be able to come along to that??
Haha - only newts in my job, not sure there are any jobs that involve both newts and octopuses but if there is I would like it!
All the best,
Emily

@emily-seccombe amazing! Our next meet-up is planned for this coming Sunday at a community garden next to the Hexagon Theatre:

I think they are harvesting vegetables that afternoon so lots of interesting activity to draw.

No need to book or anything, just turn up if you can make it

Welcome to the community Emily. I'm sure you'll find yourself at home in no time!

@NicolaSchofield Hi Nicola, that sounds great, I won't make it this week, but will definitely hope to make the next one! What a fab idea

@NicolaSchofield lol yes. I bought many a pair of shoes in the Oracle. Spent a lot of time at Great Expectations and the Purple turtle, and can't get the smell of Smelly Alley out of my brain
