Here is a postcard which I made at the end of a long hot walk. It shows the houses in Walls, on Shetland West Side.
Here is Burrastow House and Burrastow Cottage, an evening view. I sketched this on top of a sky view I’d sketched earlier, but which had been spotted by rain, as you see.
This is a restaurant in Lerwick: “C’est la vie”.
The flags are to welcome the “Tall Ships” which came to Lerwick earlier in the week. The restaurant was closed, I was waiting to see if it opened. Then the rain started. Then the restaurant opened and I finished the sketch inside. Then I walked to the Ferry Terminal.
On the ferry, I made quick sketch of people at breakfast.
Here is my final sketch of the expedition. On the train at Aberdeen, I looked out of the window.
I have a sketchbook full of images. Here’s a quick flip through showing random glimpses of the visit: (19 second silent video)

Jane, I loved watching you flip through your sketchbook. I love your watercolours of course but there’s also this: For many decades I did ethnographic research in India and I’m very interested in Indian art and the art made there by British colonial officers and their wives. A few years ago I had the opportunity to purchase an original sketchbook, circa 1900, by such a British artist and it’s one of my treasures.

Hello Gloria, thank you so much for your comment. The flip-through gives a review of the expedition and a host of memories for me. I can understand that the sketchbook you own must be a treasure: it transmits what the artist saw, and what the artist valued, how they spent their time. What a wonderful object to have!
