Such a beautiful day today! The sun is shining and the afternoon is so still and quiet, as I walk up across the fields onto Woodcock Hill. I am trying out my new walking boots.

There are so many butterflies! They flutter down in front of me and as I get nearer they flutter away again. It feels hopeful and uplifting, as if they are telling me I am on the right path.

I bought a new pan of Winsor yellow watercolour paint. I love undoing the cellophane and then taking off the paper wrapper. It is like a gorgeous little sweet! I sit at the edge of a field and do a sketch. You have to imagine the butterlies!
