Cornwall
As I've just come back from a week in Cornwall I thought I'd re-visit my Cornish sketch book. The landscape around St Ives Bay has hardly altered since I was a student many years ago. Here are a few of my sketches from that time.

Orlando: A Seaside Holiday
I was asked by Norman Geras of normblog to write about a book that means a lot to me for his Writer's choice series. I chose 'Orlando: A Seaside Holiday' by Kathleen Hale. You can read the piece here: http://bit.ly/dJBkEC and I will be posting it on my own blog later with some of Kathleen Hale's beautiful illustrations. Norman is husband to Adele Geras whose book 'A Thousand Yards of Sea', I Illustrated many years ago. You can see some of my pictures here: http://joannatroughton.blogspot.com/2010/05/thousand-yards-of-sea.html
