Drawing carries on... setting good habits... stopping myself from not bothering, being too tired, any excuse....
An easy morning, then this afternoon I walked to the village to go to the quilting shop called Tis the Season...I need a fabric pencil to mark for cutting patchwork blocks.
It is a flat 3 km with a good footpath most of the way, and a decent grass verge up the road where I'm staying. A pleasant walk, with enough shade from trees when it's hot...like today! The return journey was relieved by a light shower of rain, as schoolchildren rode home on the path...I chose the verge to let them ride easily.
At home my exercise walks are an hour on the walk around the nature reserve..an old opencast mining site...or a hilly 4km road walk which takes and hour. So 6km flat was good.
Drawing lines and cutting squares tomorrow, hopefully!!

Sounds like another good day.
Well done to keep with the drawing practice. I find it hard to loosely sketch - my brain seems to be wired to detail, and that is how I work - on the very rare occasion that I draw.
It makes all the difference when you have a good footpath and lovely surroundings.
My walk yesterday was 2 hours around Douglas running errands!
...keep putting one foot in front of the other.

So great to see what your pen does on paper. Fond memories of sketching things. I once took out my stadium chair and parked myself with sketchbook on the sidewalk in downtown Cashiers NC, and sketched the old hotel there. Someone bought the sketch right out from under me! So I did a second, for myself! I think it was better!
You're keeping busy while you're here, you will have lots of memories to take back with you, you're not moving here are you in the future? I hope so :-)
I can't move here..I've left my 40s behind and I'm not a multi millionaire
Nothing wrong with detail... just go in closer and keep practising..it is learning how to look, again
Walking daily provides great exercise, and you have good views which makes the travel interesting.
Your drawings are lovely.
I live ten kilometres from town. And we don’t have a quilt shop to tempt me into walking We do have a spotlight but that’s way over the other side of town and another ten to fifteen kilometres so I’m definitely not walking there.
I have started walking Wednesday mornings at the local botanical gardens. That quite enough for me just now.
