My feet ended up throbbing and my wallet was aching but I couldn’t get enough of the E17 Art Trail.

I saw amazing work everywhere from Inky Cuttlefish Studios in Blackhorse Road, to my local pub Ye Old Rose & Crown on Hoe Street and dozens of other venues in between (including Walthamstow Fire Station, which they had wallpapered on the outside).

It was great to see so many people getting involved - and it felt really good to support local artists and craftspeople by buying their work.

Congratulations to everyone involved and I’m looking forward to the 2010 Trail already (even though my wallet is not!).
