Looks like a lovely trip, thanks for sharing. I love London, there is so much to see and do. I regret that when I lived there I wasn’t really giving myself permission to be a creator/artist so couldn’t enjoy it the way you did 😢. But I enjoyed it in other ways 😊

You're welcome, Alex! It's funny how we can appreciate a place more when we're not living and working there. I grew up by the sea, and although I went to the beach a lot as a kid, I don't think I ever fully appreciated the place for its natural beauty. Now, whenever I visit the coast, I really make the most of it.

So nice to see your day together Emma and Helen! Looks SO fun! I love the Coral Rooms - I was there and also fell in love with the artist whose work was on the walls - do you remember what his name was?

It's so funny how we always pack more than we use, but maybe that's just part of the fun! Come to Munich ladies - I'll show you around!

It was great, but was over so quickly! 😆

Oh, that's amazing! Annoyingly, I can't recall the name of the artist. I'll look it up, perhaps it's on their website or social media.

Haha! It was so funny to watch the video back while I was editing it. I said, 'I won't take much as I never use it', then got TOTALLY carried away by swatching and threw everything but the kitchen sink into the case. Almost all of which, I didn't use. I'll never learn! 🤣

Oh my goodness, I would love to come to Munich! And to the Alps! I basically want a sketching holiday over there with you 🤣

How nice to see the 3 of you together!

This 14B Pitt Graphite Matt is the graphite pencil I use the most.

Thanks Hippo! It's a brilliant pencil, isn't it? Not sure why it surpasses my dozen or so other (similar pencils), it just has a certain quality to it. Fingers crossed they don't stop making it! 🫣 *rushes off to order some, just in case*
