Title: Postcard from the Lake District
Length: 100
Rating: Gen
Summary: A postcard from Inky to Doctor Watson.
Author's Note: for the monthly prompt and the Watson Woes Amnesty Prompt #6 [Special Appearance by Holmes and Watson. Spotlight a supporting character of your choosing. Holmes and/or Watson can appear, but
only briefly (less than a paragraph, or a few sentences)]. I was thinking of the watercolours of Alfred Heaton Cooper.

Dear Doctor Watson,

I hope this postcard finds you well. The watercolour scene opposite is the view from my den, rendered by a new friend also summering at the Lake District artists’ colony.

With spirit and muse restored, I am finding small moments of happiness to savour each day: the white of a cabbage butterfly against a green canopy, the sweet scent of honeysuckle, the many rhythms of rain.

All my best to Mister Holmes and please let Ferret know that I shall be in the front row of opening night of A Mustelid of Destiny.

Your friend,
Inky Quill

Delighted to hear from Inky. Seems to be settling in nicely.
And yes, a talented artist friend:-)

Thanks. Yes, he's enjoying himself. I googled lake district and watercolours and liked his the best.

Those are lovely instances of happiness to have chosen.

Very pleased Inky is enjoying his break.

Just been looking at some of Alfred Heaton Cooper's work - I love those beautiful muted colours.

How wonderful to hear from Inky and know that he's doing well ^__^ I love the lines:

Thank you! He's what the google turned up and seemed to fit the bill. Inky is enjoying himself.

Yes, it is that famous play by George Bernard Shrew and only one Mustelid could play the part of Napoleon.
