Art Photography by Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Hello!

It was snowing when I was born so I've been told and I always enjoy the snow.

I just couldn't resist creating a little bit of artwork with it today.

At least one passer by, who happened to be a neighbour, appreciated it as they called out 'hiya', though what was also brilliant was that they only saw me taking a selfie (and couldn't see the artwork)!

I hope these pics bring good cheer.

My Google Photos surprised me with this: Thought I'd share;

UPDATE

Urgent question in parliament today (19/01/2021):

(Although by email it was advertised asacommencing at 1pm, it starts at c.12.44pm)

https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/25c66f34-1e7a-4045-bd91-7e50083d25e9

I think it will be interesting to see, but more importantly for it to be advertised and accessable, the publication as many MPs are requesting. As to artists now being required to cover an extra expense for visas and work permits to tour I'd also like to see the discussions, as promised, develop, though the emphasis seems to be on clarity about it and not further negotiations so that artists are not required to pay unfortunately. However, who knows. It's interesting to see how many MPs are supporting the need for the issue to be resolved though.
