Daydreaming of little things...
Last night I dreamt of leaving the cold wind
And grey skies behind me.
For a minute I thought about getting into my kayak and sailing into the sunset.
But images of amnesia and Panama crossed my mind.
A sad guy in a police station just down the road from me must be desperately wishing he had stayed at home.
Stayed at home, looking out at the North Sea and doodling...
Just as did last night when I dreamed of warmer climes...
I started with the usual curls. Just a few little things.
The pen came to life and I suddenly began floating away.
Guess where I landed?
...
I screamed and guess what?

Love the illustration.
Kind of Douanier-Rousseau-ish.
Very beautiful! Happy to see your art again, i really love this. Thankfully we finally got some rain! Everything is parched here because of all the sunny days but now it poured and poured. We need it or could go up in flames... Your request was processed and Thank You for telling me, I am kind of oblivious... I would love to go to this place, Marrakech.
Lush and beautiful and just what the doctor ordered. Much better than a Hollywood crime film to warm the cockles -- of which I think Mr Darwin has seen too many.
Ah, it's gorgeous Cream!
But he'll have plenty of time for doodling soon...
looks like you landed beautifully in Marrakech - love the stars - the colors
I always want to sit down and dream up a story to go with your drawings.
Well, I'm glad you decided NOT to do a Darwin on us and deprive us of your "Magic Carpet" ride!
Che, yes, the last time I did one of these, Crabtree said the same thing. I am honoured and thank you.
Val, I would say you're lucky to have dry weather but it sounds quite dangerous.
As far as the art is concerned, I will transfer it to canvas one day.
Thanks, Andrea.
The latest is that he hid in his own house for 3 years and only disappeared when the kids visited.
The saga gets stranger by the day.
To think that they might've hatched their plans over one of our meals!
FH, you're right. He might even become an expert at Solitaire.
Go ahead Hayden... It might be about an Andalusian princess saved by a handsome horseman on an Arabian stallion.
Dinahmow, I think this Darwin must have inherited dumb genes in his species.
Thanks.
I thought of Douanier Rousseau too, but I see Che's beaten me to it. Damn-ed, as they say in Belgian comic strips. I also thought of you when I saw where that canoe bloke came from. I will nominate him for a Darwin award if nobody else does. More to this than meets the eye - they owned 12 rental properties and still ran up debts? Cruel thing to do to their children. She's pleading the Rose West clause now.
Rick Stein was in Marrakesh the other day! He must read your blog.
wonderful
was just there having my hand hennaed for the film festival........
beautiful illustration
Oasis. Oh, how I can understand you! :-)
That sad guy appreciated good meals?
Daphnee, the truth is coming out by instalments. Darwin is being done for a passport offence for starters. Isn't Panama very close to the Galapagos where the original species of Darwins discovered so many weird animals?
Yes, Rick must read my blog because he also was in Carca only weeks after me.
Welcome Elizabeth, you lucky thing, rubbing shoulders with Di Caprio and Scorsese...
Thank you.
You're a gem, Merisi.
I think he'll have to get use to prison food soon.
i love the colours and all the detail. excellent.
Do tell....where did you land...????
Thanks for visiting, Catnapping. Love your art.
Bella, the mind boggles. But I think Marrakesh would be a good place to land in anyone's daydream.
Yes, the film festival started well.
I have a press pass which is good so I get into everything free.......

Elizabeth, you're even luckier than I thought! But is it work?
I checked the programme. Really good.
I called my cousin last night to see if he'd met any famous people. Not yet.
Maybe at Jad Mahal or Le Comptoir...
nice!
Great stuff Cream, dont come here though for warmer climes at this time of year, minus 12 last night. Great illustration.
Ah you're doodling again! As soon as I saw it I thought of Marrakech. It's really grabbed you hasn't it Cream? :)
Thanks, Squirrel.
Minus twelve, CR!!! Our neighbours said it was cold on the Costa Blanca but THAT is very cold. I remember last January when we went to Granada, your area was covered in snow.
It snowed in Newcastle yesterday but it's not bad today.
Yes, Akela. It has. My cousin keeps asking me to go back after Christmas. We'll see.
Cream see you there, but remember there is no going back. They will never believe you.....
Q, you just say the word.
What groovy colors! I wish my dreams looked like this. :-)
Magic, that's what you creat, Cream. Wonderful, spirit-lifting magic. Was it Marrakesh?
Rrramone, all you have to do is believe.
Thanks, Gigi. Yes, it is Magical M.
Love it!
You were Rockin' the Casbah!
I simply must try your magic mushroom omelette!
Take a trip and never leave the farm.
Dreaming of Rockin' the Casbah, HE... Just dreaming.
Marrakesh! Of course! I'm coming too!
I love the music and those colours. My late brother took me to a restaurant in Seaton Carew. I wonder if it is still there?
Mary, make sure you bring your own glass...;o)
PI, thank you.
I wonder whether it was our old one.
For sure!
