Another year of delightful and warm-hearted Sam Toft images to make you smile - and we think this selection is particularly lovely and colourful.
And this time she has also let us into the secret of what inspired her to paint each month’s image … “maybe a song on the radio, or a piece of snatched conversation overheard on the bus home, or the colours in somebody’s new frock”.
Share in the magic of Sam Toft’s imaginary world and its characters to find a little bit of joy and gratitude in every day.
“In these uncertain times I hope there’s some solace to be found in an imaginary world with its faded ice cream colours. A world where the breeze is always blowing, friendships come easily and there’s always time for second chances. And here, in case of emergencies, our dear Mr Mustard will always be carrying a few spare mint humbugs in his pocket. Because it’s always nice to find the joy of sweetness when you’d quite forgotten It was there, isn’t it?”
