This winter we travelled to a place that I’ve been longing to visit for many years, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Bhutan, the land of the thunder dragon was as magical and beautiful as I had hoped, and a few days in Kolkata at either end added a sharp but equally enjoyable contrast. Just by the colours I used in my sketchbook you can see the difference. I even managed a Sunday outing with the Kolkata Urban Sketchers which was great fun!

Visiting Dzongs, monasteries and museums whilst each day traveling further east we got to see some spectacular countryside too.
