Sketching

On January 22, 2022 By EmmaLeave a comment

My daughter and I watched a gorgeous episode of New Lives in the Wild on channel 5 this morning.

It told the story of 76 year old Sandy who has dedicated her life to running an animal sanctuary on a remote island in Greece. We fell in love with her 25 rescue dogs!

We set up the lap top and did some sketching from stills on the screen. You can support her charity here.
