Recalling My Travels

Over the past couple of years I have been lucky enough to visit some incredible places.  I love looking through my photo collection and taking myself back to those great moments.  I will never forget the day I was walking through Rome, meandering through the tiny streets when I stumbled into a tiny square and looked awe-struck as the Trevi fountain stood strong and proud right there in front of me.  It was just amazing that this monumental piece of architecture was 'squeezed' into this tiny little square! 

Travelling to Norway by ferry was a great experience, fun yet relaxing and what makes it for me is that you can enjoy the travelling time (wander around the boat, sit and watch the world drift by).  Reaching Bergen was so exciting, I just had no idea what to expect! The architecture was fascinating.  The food was delicious and I tried whale for the first and last time!!

For my Birthday last year I drove up to Northumberland for a slightly alternative holiday experience.  Staying in a Wigwam in rural surroundings I really enjoyed spending some time in an absolutely beautiful part of England.  As an artist, my creative inspirations come from my surroundings and being in the open air of the North East really was a refreshing recharge to my senses :)

I now look forward to an exciting few months exploring places I cannot believe I am visiting ...New Zealand, Hawaii and San Francisco! :)  'Excited' is not quite the word!
