    DESCRIPTION What is inspiration? What inspires you? What inspires us? Oh, and what doesn’t inspire us? (Lots of inspiration in one sentence!) In this episode we take a look at what motivates and galvanises us, what gets us out of bed in the morning* and also what just gets us down, makes us want to stick our fingers down our throats and generally pisses us off. (*In Dave’s case it’s generally his bladder) Here’s a taste of what we chat about… Rainbow unicorn cloudsLots of James Bond references (inevitably for podcast 007)Inspired by a dream?Oh, I do like to be beside the seasideArt, music, nature and all that kind of stuff LINKS Here are the pictures of the rainbow cloud and Vicky’s wave paintings: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bBzud7gh5WuMaJsR7 And a link to the lady who painted them, Kim Adelle Fuller: https://www.kimadele.co.uk/ Here’s the gallery where Vicky has been displaying her fab artwork: Montague Gallery - https://montaguegallery.co.uk/ Want to see more of Vicky’s art?
