I'm looking forward to taking time out in January to look at, watch, paint and be inspired by the coast. The thought is the equivalent to quenching a thirst on a hot day. Can't wait.
It's can be a bit draining living in the city. But that for me can also crystallise the whole reason for being creative. The refreshment and restorative value of the sea and the coast is huge. It's so important.
John Betjemans poem Winter Seascape is a favourite. I love the last verse.
'Here where the cliffs alone prevail, I stand exultant, neutral, free. And from the cushion of the gale, behold a huge consoling sea.'
Say no more.
