Dartmoor

Just back from Dartmoor, with a greater understanding of the word 'tor', a sense of the England from stories and a deep seated mistrust of the merchant navy. Actually not true but it is beautiful down there. I can't get enough of the misty bleak moors that force you to feel a least a little bit of melancholy. So heres to lakes appearing from behind a veil of mist, stumbling upon little village squares with pubs and people driving land rovers that actually need them. Oh and wearing welly boots...

Sketchtravel

After the interview on thursday I photographed the book that the whole project is about. This is it as well as one of the illustrations within (go to the website to see all of them and learn more about the project). In short it is a book that travels the world being illustrated by top illustrators and is then sold for charity.

Quentin Blake

Yesterday I met Quentin Blake. We were filming for Sketchtravel so it was Catherine interviewing him, Sylvain came to deliver the sketchbook and I was filming and photographing. He was absolutely as lovely and easy to get on with as you would hope, as well as being funny. The filming went well and I even got a few nice pictures of him. Images of the sketchbook and links will follow soon.
