Oh yes! This is exactly what I've been writing about too. Autumn is the best month for collecting treasures and I start getting excited about umbellifer skeletons in August! I need to get it down on paper, only doodles so far. Lovely nature diary.

Thank you so much for the mention of our autumn-inspired session and for coming along. It's so wet and grey down here too, I feel the need to return to those colourful reference images! 🫣 Looking forward to some clear, crisp, autumnal days and collecting lots of little treasures. I love your geese drawings, I didn't know so many types migrated to the UK!

It was lovely, Emma - just what I needed when everything was so dull weather-wise! At least October seems to be having a brighter start....

What do you do with the things you collect? I tend to put things in glass jars after I've drawn them - which is great until you realise that last year's conkers have all gone gradually mouldy!!
