Hi everyone. If you’re wondering why we haven’t posted much this year, it’s because this platform has become just a little too tainted for us, through meta’s association with the orange toddler. So are trying to resurrect the blog on our website. We’ve posted a couple of times recently and here’s the latest one: https://www.rothai-mill.com/post/the-cob-story
There is a little poll on there and we’re hoping you’d help us choose the colour for the door for this little hut. 😜 You can subscribe (it’s free, it just means you’ll get notified of new posts by email and you can unsubscribe anytime).
If you don’t want that, new posts will also be shared on our Bluesky account - https://bsky.app/profile/rothai-mill.bsky.social. Not as well frequented, I know, but hopefully more ethical… so give us a follow on there if you want. ☺️

We haven’t posted in a while, but I just wanted to share this picture of our boy Scoundrel, a.k.a Onya Feet drawn by the wonderful Pet Portraits By Hercule.
Hercule is doing a great job raising money for charity in the UK by drawing (self-labelled) rubbish pet portraits and we’ve been following him since the long forgotten pandemic times...
He’s currently doing the Proclaimers challenge / fundraiser and walking 500
miles (or 804.672km), but apparently the dreaded algorithm is making his posts fly under the radar so I’m sharing this on the off chance someone will see this, and in case there are some fine art connoisseurs among our followers who appreciate this kind of talent. 😂
The idea is novel, the commitment is admirable, the drawings are… ultra realistic.
Keep up the good work Hercule, only four days left…

New commission finished!!

The fantastic feline (that’s a fancy word for cat) belongs to the wonderfully lovely Kat McNabb, and she was drawn on day 3 of my ‘500 miles for March’ challenge.

I don’t know what she’s called, but I’ve named her Onya Feet.

Onya likes trudged herring, massive novelty prawns, and doing blow-offs that sound like a duck impressing a group of rowdy toddlers with its velociraptor impression.

I’ve obviously drawn this portrait in my ultra-realistic style, so usual reminder that my picture is the image on the right.

Review from the customer:

‘Some artists would take this in their stride. You appear to have stubbed your toe on it.’

This year’s Christmas is a lot whiter than last… 😂
Same view one year apart.

We’re all coming out to do the woodwork today… 😂

When one door closes, another one opens… but otherswise it’s a pretty good house. 😂

Another bunch of jobs completed today… with the highlight being the mad carpentry by Chris! If the house falls apart, this bathroom door will stick out from the wreckage!

There is a defibrillator at the community hall around the corner from us and a free local training event is taking place next week in Killinkere for anyone who wants to join. 😁
