I'm doing a project on the 20 words that are barely known by people under 30 anymore. Sozzled is such a good word!! It can't go - let's bring it back! I'd like to get really sozzled right now... it has rained for days and we are probably going back into lockdown again any minute....

 Tosh - rubbish;nonsense

 kerfuffle - a commotion or fuss (probably because she was talking tosh)

What a year. We still don't know what kind of Christmas we will have but masks are here to stay. I've 2020'd my Christmas dog cards (FOR ONE YEAR ONLY, please can we not be wearing them next Christmas).. and here are some other cards as well as the original Happy Dog series from 2017. All are available from my Etsy store 

This portrait is of the fabulous Natalie and her beloved dog Obi. She contacted via twitter and although I have never done a joint portrait of an owner and their dog before, I loved doing it! Houseplants feature quite heavily on her insta page so I thought I'd incorporated them too. I wasn't going to add the tear stains but Natalie said, 'Even though I hate them, they are Obi' so they are in!
