I just love Mousehole! This sketch went into my book in May 2002. I remember it being a beautiful sunny day and as I drew, a little lad who was skimming around on his scooter kept stopping to see what I had done - his name was Sam.

Whilst I quaff d my pint and ate my sandwich, I was approached by a couple who asked if they could see drawing. I didn't know them from Adambut it turned out to be Sam's parents. He'd told them that it was 'good' and they just wanted to check. Do you find like me, that all kinds of memories are triggered when you glance through your sketchbooks?
