DAY 5

Spent the morning packing up our things into the trucks and then visited South beach for the last time this trip.



Finally managed to get one of the ducks Harry had been feeding all week to stay still long enough for me to capture some kind of likeness...I think the sitting lasted approx. 59 seconds!
The duck had such beautiful head colourings...Obviously, I coloured it after the event.




A most enjoyable pre-season stay at the coast, I am so pleased I decided to go ahead and book it at such short notice, the break did everyone the power of good!

DAY 4

On Tuesday, after our morning stroll along the beach, the boys decided to go swimming in the clubhouse pool, a completely glazed building composed of intricate angles.



The holiday home we stayed in was decorated with numerous china figurines which lined the window sills and fireplace. I had promised myself I would sketch at least one before my departure and only remembered late Tuesday night as I climbed into bed. Needless to say, I got back out of bed and grabbed my sketchbook...

DAY 3

Monday was a fantastic sketching day for me. We walked from the South beach to the North beach both in the morning and in the evening and we also drove into Hunstanton during the day.

DAY 2

On Sunday we drove to the North beach and sketched there for a while before Joan and Diane had to prepare for their journey home.

I'm Back!

I had a very relaxing 5 days, 4 nights at Park Resorts holiday park and am happy to report that my friends Joan and Diane were able to join me on Saturday and Sunday, even with the short notice I gave them. We shared a great girlie weekend together and Diane's Son, Aiden, was just the company my youngest, Harry needed while waiting for his Brother's arrival on Sunday evening.

After much agonising, I finally decided to use an A5 Winsor & Newton, heavyweight, casebound sketchbook. I love this paper and have used it many times in the wire-o format, I enjoyed having the ability to spread the two pages with the casebound.
