Jan catches up with film-maker, old friend and colleague, Gill Fickling (find her at Gillfickling.com) After years of travel, Gill moved back to Britain to a new home in Penzance just a few weeks before the lockdown began. We take a look at what its like to settle down after life as a global nomad, how to adapt to a new community while social distancing rules apply, and the delights of being immersed in your own language and culture after years away. Gill is coping with lockdown restrictions by throwing herself into a painting challenge - producing and selling a painting a day to raise money for refugees. But how to find new subjects when you have to stay in? Will it be a holiday photo view? Or the chickens at the bottom of the garden?
