Walking off a Cliff: Creating when Injured

Posted on July 13, 2014 by AnnIsikArts

I did. Well, I slid part way down the bottom bit and smashed my shoulder, a week ago today. Might need surgery. Fingers crossed. It was all very dramatic. Two ambulances. (Did they think I was in bits that would … Continue reading →

Another Clifftop Walk: St Margaret’s Bay to the South Foreland Lighthouse and a Bit Further

Posted on October 8, 2013 by AnnIsikArts

It was a windy, rainy September Sunday. It wouldn’t have been a good idea to have wandered to close to the edge of those white cliffs, for fear of being whisked over. It wasn’t cold, though, making for a very pleasant, invigorating walk. It was a continuation of the walk we made while on a week’s stay, at the back-end of August, in the adjacent village to St Margaret’s (heading towards Deal) called Kingsdown. Continue reading →

What I’m reading right now: or, Ann of Adam’s Garden

Posted on August 20, 2013 by AnnIsikArts

“I’d like to add some beauty to life,” said Anne dreamily. “I don’t exactly want to make people know more … though I know that is the noblest ambition … but I’d love to make them have a pleasanter time … Continue reading →

Walking Margate

Posted on August 4, 2013 by AnnIsikArts

I wrote recently about walking Whitstable. Yesterday we walked Margate. Like Whitstable, it was a first visit for me.

Margate has a bad reputation. From an aesthetic viewpoint, I understand. The seafront buildings are some of the ugliest I’ve seen. The beach is glorious.

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” Mother Teresa http://www.tranquilwaters.uk.com The seaside is a treasure trove of inspiration for artists. Look … Continue reading →
