View from the Old Repeater Station |
When I blog, I have to decide what I think about something. Writing helps me pick out the stories that have happened during my week.
I also like to paint as it helps me see what is around me better. I probably never would sit and simply stare at the view for a whole hour if I didn't have a sketch pad on my knee. When we were packing for our long hike, we had to minimise. I left out my shampoo and hairbrush, put I couldn't leave behind paints and paintbrush.
I didn't paint Hadrian's Wall itself. There was too much walking to be done.
But when we got to the B&B each night, I had a chance to capture an impression of the landscape.
