Although I was squashed in between my wife and a stranger on this leg of our journey, I managed this sketch. This lady and two others she was travelling with handed us a goody bag when we sat down…containing ear plugs and sweets (candies), with a card headed “warning” and saying “Hi…I might cry or sing out loud” explaining that he is less than one and thanking us for our kindness and patience…very cute. He didn’t cry much anyway but some of my sweets melted making a sticky mess.

I didn’t have time to sketch at the airport in Manila before we left for our UK-Montenegro holiday, because a strap on my wife’s backpack snapped at the checkin desk. So we wandered around to find an affordable replacement (definitely not Tumi). After the long flight to Istanbul (12 hours) we had a few hours in the massive airport terminal (which makes NAIA and Heathrow look dreadful), so we found a spot for a coffee. My only grumble about the airport terminal?…nowhere to sit unless you buy coffee or food….which maybe deliberate.

This is the first sketch I did while I was in Türkiye. After my first day at the office I just had a few moments to sketch out of the window of the office space I was using – what my colleagues called the ‘winter room’ (not the winter garden as I mistakenly titled this). It looks over a lovely green park …what a fantastic spot to work in.
