exploring

saturday 20th feb
dad woke me up at 6.00am (ew)
not seen that hour in a while, unless i haven't been to sleep!
got in the car& headed to Wales. i don't know where abouts, i just know its a 2hour drive away.
tried sleeping as i'd only had 3hours. but it wasn't happening; the dog kept trying to creep on me to get a view out of the window.
i decided to record the things that were happening around me.
i wrote what i saw, the noises i could here, like the murmer of the engine and occasional movement of the windscreen wipers.
i wrote about the gradual change of the sky as it got later into the morning.
i wrote about what i could see out of the window, how the weather changed from spitting to snow and grey skys.
we drove aong the coast line, towards the snow covered mountains.
we were aiming for a quarry my dad knows well, called Dorethia..
he goes diving there& knows the area well.
i found a map of the area. ill copy it into my sketchbook..
