We are making the final preparations for our stay at Y Nant in a fortnight’s time – ferries being booked, portable equipment being gathered together, weather forecasts being scrutinised. I’m not losing sleep over it all…..yet. But I will do shortly. What is the worst that could happen? High winds, cataracts and hurricano(e)s cancelling the Irish Sea ferries; outbreak of World War III and all ferries commandeered for evacuation of Dunkirk; other baroque and even more unlikely scenarios leading to complete disaster.
Actually, since the accommodation is booked and the food is provided on site, providing some of us can get there with a sketchbook and a couple of pencils apiece we can have a good time whatever happens. After all, you can make interesting drawings in torrential rain and high winds even when the ink runs and the paper half blows away. And then escape indoors and do some printing.
So, let’s hope for calm seas and a good and productive three days’ work.
Alison.
