I've been out with my #sketchbook today. This is the garden at Canons Ashby, a National Trust place in #northamptonshire.
It was chilly sitting outside #sketching soil perhaps didn't make the most of my time there.
Mrs Mike and our daughter went round the house.
The snowdrops in the grounds were well worth seeing.
My #sketchbooks go back to 1995 all in the same format - a drawing or painting on the RH side with a description of what we were doing on the LH side. My two children occasionally look at them and say "I remember that holiday" or "I remember going there" - now my grandchildren are starting to look at them.
There's an 'easter egg' in one of them for my great-grandchildren (who I'll probably never meet) with a challenge for them to find all the locations in the sketches!
They cover all of the British Isles, much of Europe, bits of North America and South Korea - a small challenge!
