Mike<p>It's always exciting when I start a new <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/sketchbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sketchbook</span></a>.<br>The last one - Volume 16 - lasted 20 months which is slightly longer than average.</p><p>All my sketchbooks are in the same 148 X 130mm format, they are Daler- Rowney Ebony books which have 150g/m2 acid free paper.</p><p>Volume 16 (just finished) started in Glenfield, Leicestershire, England and went with me via Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Cuba &amp; Mexico as well as the English counties of Kent, Norfolk, Sussex, Northamptonshire &amp; Lincolnshire back to the last scribble in the book within 500 metres of the first in the book.</p><p>I can't boast of any great skill, but it's something I enjoy doing and the books help me to remember our past, and our holidays to distant places. <br>I would love my grandchildren (and their children) to discover the world through them.</p><p>I can't imagine where the next book will accompany me to!</p><p><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/travelSketch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travelSketch</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/CarnetDeVoyages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarnetDeVoyages</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/drawing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drawing</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/UrbanSketching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UrbanSketching</span></a></p>
