New Boots

An unexpected side-effect of the pandemic lockdown was that we started walking a lot. Well there wasn’t much else we were allowed to do outdoors and we are lucky enough to live only a few minutes from a range of hills covered in walking paths. Of course, if you start walking a lot there comes a moment when your old walking boots fail – hence the new boots.

Another thing we did in lockdown was Zoom each other, and my art group developed a habit of drawing “quick sketches” whilst we were connected together by a video call. To keep this up you have to be quite inventive when selecting a subject to draw each week – a pair of new boots was a godsend!
