It’s the first sunny Saturday I’ve woken up before midday this year so I’ve set myself the challenge of doing the 10km sea walk between Margate and Broadstairs, with the secondary challenge of actually drawing something on my journey.
If I get too distracted by the walk to draw I have at least made these on the journey there.
