Isle of Wight didn’t disappoint – there was something for everyone in the family:
- Travel by Hovercraft and rides on the steam trains
- Stately homes and one of the young ones fiddling with the camera controls without us, adults, noticing for at least a day, which resulted in the lots of photos being overexposed.
- Learning a bit more about Dinosaurs
- Gazing at the grazing cows and reminiscing about the smell and the taste of the fresh cow’s milk.
- Many slow walks on the beach and finding treasures
- Falling in love with the gorgeous skies and cloud formations
If I was on my own I would be quite happy to sit somewhere on the beach attempting to capture some of the beauty of the sky and the sea. I wasn’t and I totally underestimated how much time will be taken up by the usual food preparation, getting the kids to sleep in a new place, playing, touring, etc. I’ve done very little sketching and yet I feel positive that I’ve done some. I’ll share the sketches with you in the next post.
Gorgeous photos! We went away last weekend and yes, the food prep, the sleeping, just the constant monitoring in a new place, it’s exhausting. I did two small sketches, both after children went to sleep. Impossible to sketch otherwise! Glad you got a few done too. Looking forward to seeing them 🙂
Glad to hear that I’m not the only one, who struggles to find time to sketch during the family holidays. I keep on thinking there must be some simple secret to getting the time – maybe it is just waiting until the kids are older 😀
