My goodness, Kiama is stunning. We've got scorching weather so I've bought a ridiculously large hat to try and stop from burning any more than I already have. My nose is peeling now - always a great look for anyone! I'm hoping it will have improved by the wedding.

I'm enjoyed soaking up all the new flora and fauna, I'm sure it will inspire a lot of new drawings when I get home. We went swimming in the ocean rock pool down by Kiama harbour yesterday - watching the sun on the gently rippling water, I couldn't help thinking of David Hockney's Californian paintings of swimming pools.

Kiama also has a wonderful natural blowhole that sends whooshes of water up into the air and makes momentary rainbows as the sun refracts through the spray. It made me think about Tacita Dean's recent work where she went chasing the green ray in the sunset.

Apparently, you can take an artist on holiday but you can't stop them thinking about art...
