The Old Lightouse, Dungeness

Dungeness is a very special place – I knew this before visiting it , having read and savoured books about it and the wonderful garden created by the late Derek Jarman, and arranged to stay at the Bird Observatory ,which offers very simple hostel accommodation.

This wild, and possibly to some eyes desolate place wouldn’t be to everybody’s taste, but me – I can’t wait to go back and paint there – it was everything and more that I had anticipated!
