How wonderful to see the sun at last! East Lothian is a beautiful area, but when the sun shines it really comes into it's own. The beaches are some of the best in the country: clean, expansive and with the most spectacular views out over the Forth. North Berwick where I live, buzzes with the excitement of day-trippers and the sun brings a smile to the gloomiest of faces.  

All the talk of sun not being good for you, makes me think otherwise when I see what a wonderful effect it has on our immediate environment and the people in it, bring it on I say!

3 HARBOURS FESTIVAL

If you are interested in checking it out log on to their web site www.3harbours.co.uk

I will be showing some work at this event so please come along and support me.

I am off to Washington DC for the whole of July, staying with my lovely friend Saritha. Never having been to the States before I can only imagine that this will be an experience beyond my own dreams. Apart from being able to see The White House and The Pentagon I can't wait to check out the many art galleries. Gosh I am so excited!

In the meantime however I am continuing to work on the first of my books in The Robbie series, you can see a preview of this on the page: Robbie's Space Adventure. I am still working on the font and perfecting the drawings but I am very pleased with the results so far and the feedback I've had on it has been great.

Well I am off to go and enjoy this wonderful sunshine with my two girls, a picnic on the beach, what a lovely way to spend a day off.

Take care, have fun and when life gives you lemons make lemonade!
