Where did the summer go?

Gail Willows

Well 2020 feels like the longest year ever, combined with a very fast summer. I also feel I have aged a lot. Anyone else contending with kids at home during lockdown, combined with working full time, will definitely know the pain. But we also had some wonderful special times (including enjoying time by the firepit). One thing that has kept me sane this year is my art, and I know loads of other people that feel the same.

I am so thankful for my children who are my biggest art business fans, and my best buddies. They are always encouraging me to do more, they believe in me and are so sweet. They love doing art too, and I love watching them express themselves in such different ways to each other. They push me to try new ideas, and I never say no to them when they are trying to push me to be creative - as I want them to believe that they can do whatever they want to do in life.

I tell my kids to go for it, try their best and be creative - so I must lead by example!
