And so I put in a design this year.

It's called Drawing on Nostalgia.

Thank you, Don.

So it's a tribute to Don Conroy and Draw with Don that I used to watch religiously every Wednesday.

What effect did Don Conroy have on you?

Oh, massive.

Absolutely huge.

Because when I was when I was a wee nipper, I used to watch it all the time.

And he had he just made drawing fun and not just drawing, but he instilled like environmentalism and birdwatching.

And it was so much.

And they are still things that I'm doing now at the sprightly young age of 40.

But so it was massive.

So that was the first real, what can I say, stepping into drawing and realising drawing was fun.

do you know what?

I used to set the video, I used to have it ready for my mother to record.

But there was one time I did miss it because there was the ploughing championships were on and I'd heard that he was going to be there and he was going to be doing a draw with Don at the ploughing championships.

So I was like, oh, I was 10 or 11.

So I went up there with my father and some friends and the one day I went up there was the Wednesday.

And of course, on the Wednesday, he actually done draw with Don on the den.

He was at the championships on the Tuesday and the Thursday.
