Colouring In

My wife was an adult colourer-in long before it became the thing to do, so all the growth in popularity has done for her is increase the choice and availability of material, but so I don’t feel left out she included as the bulk of my anniversary present (as a combination of paper, wood and cotton) an adult colouring book, coloured pencils and a lap-tray to work on; the activity, began today, is surprisingly therapeutic, but I still, fifty-five years since last trying, can’t keep between the lines.
