My February Adventures
February started in Scratby near Great Yarmouth, with Jane, we stayed in this lovely chalet looking out at the sea. It was a wonderful few days. I walked along the beach for a couple of hours every day, it was so refreshing. I love the photo of the sea blowing bubbles on the sand. A textured piece in the making! So I did find a lot of inspiration and am working on some new pieces which I will show later in the year.
