this is not an advert*

It's D's birthday today. He was 'at' college this morning and this afternoon has been outside, enjoying the (mostly) sunny May weather. After my walk, I found him having a Hamlet moment (sans cigar) sitting in the woods, drawing trees. I bought him some charcoal as a present when Joanna and I last went to Loch Arthur Farm Shop - they make it on site. The tins are handy for storing it.

* but this is. Funny as it may be, it does feel wrong now to use humour in marketing a product which is harmful to health. And call me cynical, but I wonder if the graphic warnings on tobacco products really do stop people smoking??
