Organised tours are not for me.......

I have muscled in with a friend on an organised drawing trip to the Kensington Roof Gardens. This is an incredibly tranquil spot high above the mayhem of Kensington High Street. There are huge squashes growing alongside grapes and figs and a group of flamingoes who rise gracefully above a gang of rather aggressive ducks. When approached by the trip organiser who asks if I am joining them I almost hear myself say "no" but realise that I am sitting there with sketchbook and watercolours in hand. I have got to get over this pointless rebellion against organised tours.
