How do you get inspiration?

This is a purely self-indulgent post — an excuse really, for me to post some pics. The best way I seem to get inspiration for my writing is by going on a long walk with my dog Roxy.

I've no idea why it works, but walking really helps me to dream up stories, or iron out plot issues or character details.  It's particularly helpful to have some beautiful spots that really inspire the imagination.

I've made a board called My Walks on my Pinterest account, and I'll add some pics every now and then of the pretty places I enjoy most.

So what inspires you?
