Seal encounter

A little bit late but I have been working to get ready for an exhibition and taking time to keep an eye on Thomas.
Fathers day on the Scillies.
The highlight of the day was snorkelling with seals of the Eastern isles with Alice, lots of wet suite protection for the colder deeper waters. Great encounter and plenty of material for some future underwater painting. Alice was a star not at all frightened by the seals or her first time in open water and we spent a couple of hours with the animals.
Snorkelling off st Martins was a not as good as the outgoing tide had made visibility poor but wonderful beaches and landscape. A pint in the newly opened pub and walk along the beach to pick up the boat then on the st Agnes for a meal in the Turks head. Great day and one neither of us will forget
Monday morning and a trip to the western isles to see Puffins in particular and we did see them close up on the water and on the rocks, more inspiration for future work.
Its been a memorable weekend and crammed lots in but worth every minute. If we get a chance to go in the future I would probably base myself on another island and chill more, or not
