That sounds like fun, I will certainly try this. I will need to get thicker gel medium since the one I have is very fluid.
There is a change in vacation plans.
I had planned to go on a trip on my own in August/September. My sister, however, wants to join me since she isn't going on a longer vacation with her friends this year. On the one hand that's great (it's cheaper when travelling together). On the other hand, I'm one of those persons that need to spend time on my own.
My sister and I are thinking of going to Kopenhagen, or maybe Poland. For a trip by myself I'm now planning to go to Antwerp again for a couple of days in April or May and treat myself to a more expensive hotel than I normally would. Maybe I'll go on short solitary trip to Newcastle by boat in November.
