From my sketchbook...
Travelling overseas has been part of my life for many years and sketching is a way to capture the moment. I frequently visit California with my husband, have been on holiday to Mexico, and have travelled by train to Greece through Bulgaria and Romania. Hamburg is a favourite destination and I have spent nine seasons acting at the English Theatre there. This blogspot is out of date but is a reminder of places visited and time well spent.
