The 6 mile trek in Dovedale where many older walkers ( 70+ish) decked out with all the 'gear' were whizzing past me smiling and joyful clutching compasses and maps, quite embarrassing really... so I would always take out my camera, look as if I wasn't the least bit puffed or tired when they approached and click away until they had passed by. After returning home feeling reasonably okay the shock of descending the three flights of stairs to the kitchen next morning for my cup of tea can only be described two words ... a nightmare; my calves felt like huge walnuts and every step was an indication that I definitely need to return to the gym ... before it is too late.
I have made my decision regarding tonight ... and it is going to be college. Eva Rothschild would have been great but I love to see the college with such an atmosphere, everyone appreciating the work on show ... and its a chance to see some of my peers and tutors as well before everyone breaks for the summer.
My blog will continue over the summer, although, I know at times I tend to ramble about things not linked in the least to my art but I do rather enjoy it and it really helps to look back on my older posts and my thoughts at that time. It is a diary, I suppose of my experiences during my degree course as a mature student and a way of reminiscing at a really special time for me. Having found myself in a position to study full time it will be interesting for me to look back on this time in my life and a blog is by far the easiest way I can do that.
