Thanks Heather for your lovely motivating early Saturday morning read with my quiet coffee. Like Helen, I'm amazed that you are able to sketch when you are on holiday. I'm still living a busy extended family life, but I'm getting much better at setting aside creative time each day which brings me joy. And, I had to laugh at your "glazed look" comment when people pass by your artwork at shows. This happens to me with my textiles at markets, but then you get the one or two who are interested in your work and stop to chat and/or buy.

Great article, Heather! How lovely to see that second photo of the row of houses, it looks so UK! Thank you for taking us with you. Loved seeing your sketches and that pint on the table in the pub! Brilliant! Your trip looks like it was the perfect change of scenery needed to remind you that you are an artist. I've never been able to do art when I am travelling with others, so I admire that you found the time every day to connect with your creative core.
