time off

I've finished the show for The Mulberry Tree Gallery and have put down my paintbrushes! Now I'm taking a bit of time off to recharge, with lots of walking, fishing and enjoying this amazing weather!

I started by going on an amazing walk from a small village on the north coast called Crantock to a beach called Holywell. It really is one of the best walks, all along the headland through swathes of tiny pink flowers (that I should know the name of!), the surf booming below the cliffs and even a lone seal watching as we walked far above it. This is the way to recharge!!

After the walk, and with the sun breaking through the clouds, we crossed a river with the tide ebbing and climbed up some very steep steps to a small cafe overlooking the beach. I'd been invited to a friend's birthday lunch and we all sat out in the sun eating crab sandwiches and chips. I do love Cornwall!!!

When we got home I did a few sketches of my very tired dog (so much for putting down the brushes).
