Colour Collective- Butter
Never thought I'd see in my lifetime the future of the United Kingdom under threat. Feeling adrift and incredibly saddened.

The anxious wait...
Here's a rough I'm working up that sums up the current feeling. I'm incredibly anxious I'll wake up and feel more like I don't belong in my country where so many people think the polar opposite *sigh*
REMAIN
The EU motto. I think it very apt in this bizarre current climate of fear and division. Why isn't there more hope and unity?

Went to a lovely talk at Foyles this evening with Marion Dechaurs, Jean Jullien, Benji Davies and Oliver Jeffers.
Some conscious and subconscious doodling!

Holiday time in Finland!
I'm in Jyväskylä as Pedro is at a conference at the University. I'm making the most of the quiet by catching up on my Poldark books and being astounded by the bold wildlife here. It's very clean, fresh and green surrounded by lakes. It's very calm.
The light here doesn't really get dark fully until 1am. Everywhere has a sauna, which is great, even in our little air bnb!
We spent our second day on Suomenlinna an island off the mainland, and I could have stayed for days. So pretty! (Although I nearly died with hayfever with the amount of rape seed!) It was also Helsinki day and outside the church on the island the Finnish Defence Conscript Band treated crowds to lots of cover songs, they were delightful to watch! (You can see a video on my Instagram!)

SysMus16 conference. I went to watch some of the presentations, and over the week met some wonderful, warm and kind hearted people.
Here's Pedro talking about his research into upper limb rehabilitation for stroke survivors! (As well as a red squirrel I saw that day)
Midnight in Jyväskylä!
We then spent two days in Helsinki which I fell in love with. It's really tiny and I was taken with the buildings, a real mash of east and west and nouveau. Everyone was very friendly and kind. Again, really clean and quiet. It's a huge contrast to sticky, noisy, grubby London!

And to end the holiday on a lovely note, Helsinki airport had a tiny exhibition on the Moomins.

One step forward two steps back
It can be a real struggle at times to stay constantly positive and striding forwards. Occasionally you get a little knocked back when things don't work out how you hoped. But with supportive friends and loved ones cheering you on and a bit of a pity party for yourself, you dredge up that reserve that set you down this bumpy path, and you go about proving them negative feelings wrong.
Don't let the negative voices in your head take over and win.
Just keep swimming!

Drawing things I shouldn't be...
Well I was going to draw up a spread from my story idea, but instead I appear to have sketched Rapunzel. Distracted somewhat!
Doodling
Struggling to do more than warm up doodles hence the face! Finding it hard to concentrate. Must be the drop in weather to the gloom we have today!

At the point where I should walk away and leave it I think! (This will double as my save the date design also! Hooray!)
