Oh good and I hope you do write more, say, about Aleister?
I'm the same with drawing art. I've SO much time allotted to the garden and I don't feel a Bit of guilt on that front, though it does leave cobwebs forming on unfinished drawings...
I thought of making illustrations for my posts about Daphne as well, like my much loved Victorian serials I would read as a child in our library with all the penciled messages on pages thinking of long since dead Spinster aunts.
I just made a character named Ludo Nert, but I am sure he will be talking to Alister. Everybody talks to Ludo as he seems to be such a bland, colourless little bore.
And I was thinking Victorian or a little earlier too actually. Maybe a little like the Dickens illustrations by Phiz.
