Just Married!



I'm back!

I've been a bit absent for the last couple of months as I've been rather busy having a lot of fun getting married and running away to Africa for some lovely honeymooning. But now I have shaken the confetti out of my hair, got the elephant poo out of my flip flops, and finally managed to use the words 'my husband' without looking like I'm going to choke on something, I'm back.

So, here are a few pages from the sketchbooks I took to Kenya. There was only a certain amount that I managed to do as I was quivering with excitement over all the animals, and trying to suppress repeated enactments of what I believe to be an extremely accurate impression of a wildebeest. Had to be reminded on several occasions that contrary to my own assessment of the situation, I was not, actually, Dr. Doolittle, and no, just going for a little cuddle with the lions was not such a great plan. This aside, Kenya was a wonderful country, beautiful, welcoming and wild, and I would go back like a shot for another dose of loveliness. Especially if I could just go and have a LITTLE chat with the giraffes. They'd understand, I know they would.
