This evening I've been watching David Attenborough on television, extolling the virtues of wind turbines, bearing in mind that the UK is the windiest country in Europe. This fact is not a great surprise to me, having just come back from a few days holiday on the east coast. We stayed in a caravan, near Filey. So, windy, don't talk to me about windy. It sounded gale force in a draughty caravan and felt bracing, to say the least, when we were out in it. Nevertheless, I can forgive the east coast of Yorkshire for a bit of tasty weather. That stretch of coastline has everything - scenery, wildlife, golden beaches, donuts and seaside rock. You really couldn't ask for more. We had a wonderful time.
The watercolour is part of the view from Filey, looking south towards Flamborough Head, with the lighthouse just visible. It is also my donation for a fundraising event being organised by artist Sheila Southwell. Painters are being asked to donate a postcard-sized painting, in any media, to be sold for £2 at an exhibition in Hassocks, West Sussex on 5th August. All proceeds will go to the charity, Age Concern. If anyone else is interested in donating then the paintings need to be sent (by 12th June and with your name and phone number on the back) to Sheila Southwell, Hawthorns, 24 Ockenden Way, Hassocks, West Sussex, BN6 8HS.
