Oh my gawd, I was in heaven watching all that eye candy. Chuckled each time you shook your finger no. I could spend so much time in all these stores and end up in so much trouble 🤣. The WH Smith dual tip markers remind my of my Lyra dual tip markers which are very similar to the Tombow. The Derwent Artists pencils are a hard pencil. I love them. ( many others don’t ). They do not have a high pigment so knowing that helps. I’ve never seen so many glitter and gel pens in all my life in stores. Thank you for this video. Throughly enjoyed it.

Another super fun vid. I loved going round with you and the Stratford Centre is so close to me, I will be taking a trip there I think!! I was so sure you were going to pick up a pack of gel pens though!! My partner is like your husband in that he would say "do you really need another set of this or that, you already have some at home?" but then he would also say, "well it's only £10, you might as well get it"!! Hobbycraft Greenwich is the nearest to me and my partner goes there sometimes for B&Q, so he and I could combine a trip! Actually I bought a tin of 24 Albrecht Durer pencils in Hobbycraft late last night, for delivery. I had checked them out on Amazon and the tin of 24 pencils with a brush marker was £40 and a few odd pennies, but in Hobbycraft, the same tin, without the brushmarker, which I don't need, was £26.25 and free delivery as the order came to over £25! A no brainer!! I thought, I'd channel my inner Art Journey, because I've never thought of shopping in those shops before, always just go to Amazon!

Definitely a core memory for me but I did not replace my pencil case every year/often. What remains of my favourite pencil case from early 1980s will be featuring in my colouring memories tag video next month. Oh, thanks for the reply to below, however the Beatrix Potter pages and video are from two years ago (my first colouring videos) so maybe not so great haha no audio, small and novice. But thanks.

Made me chuckle when you waggled your finger at certain items. I know what you mean about the felt tips in smiths, that was the quality present in my xmas stocking, normally a 50 pack. Also loved the stuff from b&ms Have seen those brush pens in whs before but always pricey for what they were interesting theyve got pasatels /skins though probably not at my local branch as its so poky! Anyway hope your servers are stable and keep on slurping.
