This is a painting of the coastline around County Down in Northern Ireland. It’s rocky and windy and can be very wild but incredibly beautiful. I come to this little beach when I am there and need to clear my head.

The coastline around the Ards Peninsula in Northern Ireland has the most beautiful windswept beaches and rocks that reach out into the sea. Just off the seaside town of Donaghadee you will find the Copeland Islands, important for populations of sea birds and coastal plants. They are truly magical to visit. This painting looks back towards the town from the Copelands.

When I walk through a really old forest thick with bracken, hear the sounds and smell the smells I am taken back to when I was a little girl running about and finding primroses at the foot of the trees. For me these woodlands are almost about a feeling rather than a place. However just in case you wanted to know, this particular woodland is just outside a little village called Caplane in the Gironde.

We all wait for things, sometimes we don’t even know what we are waiting for. A storm? A friend? An idea? Something to appear on the horizon to fill us with joy or something deeper.

There is nothing more magical than a shady river. This one is called L’Eyre and runs from the Landes to the Basin d’Arcachon in South West France and the trees along its banks are old woodland as opposed to the more common maritime pines you see in the region. Its sandy banks make for a tranquil resting place to stop and take a moment.

This lake is surrounded by long grasses with flowers dotted through and little paths that just want to take you down to the water and have a swim.

Sometimes this country surprises you with its brightness on a sunny day. Hope Cove is a special place for me and my family and come rain or shine we have laughed and played on this beach.

Richmond Riverside always has a selection of canoes, rowing boats, cruisers and kayaks to look at. The trees drip down into the water - so many greens.

In the springtime when most things haven’t really got going you can count on bluebells to really put on a great show. It’s one of the highlights of my year - bluebell woods, nice walk, pub lunch. Done.

Hope Cove is a place I have visited a lot and I will never tire of the view of Bolt Tail disappearing into the sea and the jagged lines of rock that appear at low tide with sandy channels in between. And just round the corner are the best rock pools ever.

I’ve taken many many walks along the Thames and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it the same twice. This side of the bridge is my favourite - away from most of the hustle and bustle. You can walk along to Ham and get the little ferry home again.

I love valerian - they can live pretty much anywhere and are true survivors. There are always lots of them in Hope Cove when we visit and their colour just makes me smile.
