For Max (and Colin), in particular, it was bad because both of them were scared of traffic and having cars and worse, lorries trundling down roads with no space for pedestrians was a night mare. Where we live now, you can't access countryside areas without loads of traffic being in the way, and one area I found was blocked off, so it's a road nightmare. I've even encountered this problem deep in the countryside, and
country lanes aren't fit for purpose with the amount of traffic on today's roads and many drivers think they can speed everywhere.
that I had room to build furniture, and to get it in.) I had written Lego on the box - there is a window in the garage and I put the box near it and a few weeks ago, I was moving things back into the house... I had forgotten what was in the box and the label had faded to almost nothing so I had to open it to find out what was in there.
It got me thinking - are alcohol markers worth the money? Of all the various art supplies you can buy, alcohol markers can be one of the most expensive ones, particularly if you get a brand like Copic, and there are all those manga and comic book artists out there who happily use them in their work, but if you keep the art work in the light, eventually it will fade to nothing. I knew that they faded, but I wasn't
expecting the fade to be that dramatic. It begs the question: is it ethical for a company like the producers of Copic to charge so much for their markers? Will we lose vast amounts of art to fading? There are copies, of course, printed, digital, etc, but none of them will be the original and it will be gone.
