On the evening of July 22nd, John gave a very fascinating account of his travels with pictures and sketches. His wife, Jen, was present also and she ably filled in many a gap in the itinerary and narrative.
John showed us his lovely sketchbooks which were made by Di Breeze, another talented FHAS member, and the little painting and drawing kit that he travels with.
John gave a few tips and some words of encouragement to anyone thinking of recording their travels in this way.
The couple travelled through Jordan, Israel and Egypt with many tales of customs, climate and food (Note John's headgear!).
John's sketches of Petra were extremely interesting and the little comic 5-minute sketches of people they saw on their travels were very amusing.
They are planning to visit Russia in August so we look forward to more sketches in due course.
The evening was enjoyed by 16 members and seven guests who stayed for tea and a chat afterwards.
