Ink drawing of this week's Gerald Leslie Brockhurst #PortraitChallenge for StudioTeaBreak over on X/Twitter. I love this portrait, Dorette has such an enigmatic gaze and her hair makes a terrific shape. If you have an X account, check out lots of other people's studies of the same portrait, that hangs in the Watt Institution in Greenock, Scotland. (The Watt were very generous in sharing lots of the drawings to their own account!)
So here are the five Adventuremice books that you can already find in bookshops:
And here's the book that's coming out mid-March next year, Adventuremice: Mice, Camera, Action! .
(This one will come with a special dedication to Sam Reeve.)
When you go to Bath, you expect to see a lot of Regency grandeur. Have a look at our event venue in the Assembly Rooms, you could easily imagine Jane Austen's characters gathered there for a ball. Did Elizabeth Bennett draw pictures of Pedro the mouse on her dance card? Perhaps?

But then you go up and up some small stairs for a quiet curry and realise, once again, you're in a Regency ball room and yes, Jane Austen definitely ate a curry here.
