The wind was rattling last wednesday, but I still managed to hear most of what the lovely Donna Wilson had to say.(She was giving a talk at the Harris Gallery in Preston.) Hearing her chat about her work and how much of an influence the countryside is to her work rung true with me. She also spoke about how her Grandma`s encouragement inspired her and gave her confidence, which made me think how little things are such big things for children and can shape their whole life!
Donna`s journey sounded so straight forward, I`m sure it hasn`t been, but I would have liked to hear more about her struggles, but I do like a journey to be winding!
It felt like Sunday was the first bit of sunshine in months, so we headed to the Cheshire countryside to soak it up…We saw snow drops! and a robin…the first signs of spring. I felt so refreshed after my little walk and the hope of spring! We stopped off in a cosy cheshire pub on the way home- the perfect sunday!
