No camera? No problem!

I'm on holiday with most of my children & no dogs! We're by the sea, which I love but the mobile signal is so intermittent your phone goes flat much faster than normal because of the constant searching for a signal.

Thus it was that I saw a striking scene of a fishing boat out at sea that I was itching to photograph but couldn't because my phone was flat. After bemoaning to anyone within earshot, I had a brainwave! Who needs technology? I would sketch it. So I found an old cinema ticket and black biro and did just that. My son, who considers himself far too grown up for rockpooling like the others, added the sea, fish, shark and modern art.

All in all I'm happy with the result. The boat was captured and my son joined in on a non technological activity!
