From a visit to the south side of Glasgow catching coffee and a snack at Tapa, great music too.

Took a trip to the east coast to draw on the sandy beaches of Coldingham Bay. It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day, ideal for hanging out and drawing. I didn’t get to spend more time in St Abbs but hopefully like to go back soon to check it out further.

I got there a bit early and managed to catch them blow them up to start the day. I tried to get a viewpoint of the inflatables near [...]
