1. Two years ago today …


 Two years ago today … I left for Australia and from there on to New Zealand, New Zealand to Australia, Australia to Canada and America then France. 

Yes … much travelling has been had.  For the first time in two years I’ve been reunited with my belongings.  It’s amazing what you forget you have … and what you can live without.  Amongst the many boxes and bags of excess stuff my parents graciously drove to me from England, I was really happy to see my art equipment, especially to see it set up in a working space.  As fantastic as it was to travel, I really missed having a place of my own to do my art.  Though I travelled with basic art supplies, watercolours, a few brushes and paper etc, it just wasn’t the same and being constantly on the move with a full suitcase left little room for anything else.  I am now enjoying the luxury of having my own studio whilst living in Nantes with my fiance.  That’s the  joy of travelling; you never know where it will take you.  It has been truly an amazing experience and one that will stay with me forever. 

Now back to the site ...

In the next couple of weeks the website will be translated into French to accommodate the English.  I am also promising to keep this blog updated; I have no excuses seeing as i have my belongings now!
