Wow, that is an epic journey and a very busy trip - no wonder you didn't really have the energy to create. I agree that it's ok to not sketch every day if you are just not feeling it - but always good to get back to it when you have more energy. I often find I go in a new direction with a little time off!

Interested to hear how you like the lamy like brush pen from Temu - they have popped up on my Temu and I have been curious!

Well hold on a minute Emma with the Lamy lookilike brush pen, i tried some ink in it and I'm not convinced yet. I'm not sure if it is the ink I'm using but need to give it some more practice so I'm currently on the fence. It does look lovely though😊

Hmmm…not easy to pick what to tick😊Fairly experienced ( but no expert) re sketching; pencil and pen work, but a novice when it comes to putting the right amount of the right colour in the right place re watercolour😊

Hi Carl, I’m impressed with your bike, but that was a long ride… my husband had a bike when he was in his teens but spent more time off it than on, hence four wheels came into play

Yes, I've wanted one of these for ages Sally. I treated myself at 55!

I've had bikes since passing my test in my late 20's. I would definitely have more if I had the space to keep them 🙂 It gobbles up the miles.
