Here’s the second installment of our holiday in Barcelona. Part one is here.

In case you can’t see that very clearly, I learned that Peppa Pig is Peppa la Cerdita in Spain – Peppa Piggy.
Tune in tomorrow for the flea market, Spanish sweets, Parc Guell, more friends and a hamster that stole Tabs’ heart.
Well, this has to be some kind of record: I’ve only just finished my holiday sketch diary, 22 days after returning home. I think we can safely say that it’s time for another holiday now!
I’ve been thinking about why it’s taken so long, and my best guess is that I broke my own guidelines for making sketch diaries: I hardly collected any labels/leaflets/tickets this time, and did a lot more painting. I cared too much about pictures looking right (not that this means they all ended up perfect – far from it!)
Never mind, it’s done now, so here it is, a week in Frome (Somerset, UK).
We went on a family holiday to St Ives for a week, and I kept a little sketch diary of everything we did. Not having a scanner handy, I was photographing the pages on my phone every night and uploading those images – but you can see a completely cleaned up and much more readable version here.
It’s always very interesting to see how a period of intensive drawing always begins wobbly, and becomes much more assured as the time goes on.
