After a rather long break from creativity due to work, I've recently been lucky enough to have had a chance to re-absorb myself in the creative world. Drawing, photography and writing always help me to get back in touch with my ideas. So a trip to see the beautiful Books About Town benches proved a perfect way to spend a morning.

All fifty benches were on display in Gordon Square last weekend before being auctioned and raising an incredible quarter of a million pounds for the National Literacy Trust. I took the opportunity to take a close look at the wonderful artwork. The heavens opened as I walked around but the rain somehow added a certain something to the pictures. Lovely.
