THE TEXT:
On Tuesday I took a trip into March looking for inspiration with my sketchbook in tow. Weather gloomy and still pretty cold led me to the warmth of March Library and what a marvellous location it turned out to be!
Situated alongside the river Nene, the library had all the essential amenities at hand; toilet, tables, chairs, people and a huge glass front with a view onto the high street …Perfect!
The coffee machine deserves a separate mention all of it’s own, a very modern contraption that offers a variety of beverages including green tea and, my personal favourite, nice strong latte and all at just 60 pence a cup.
I had a wonderful morning journaling my surroundings , undisturbed, comfortable and protected from the cutting Fenland wind.

I alwasy wanted to draw in the library when I worked but never could of course! LOL Love this week's sketches! Do you still have places available on the workshop??
I just love your columns and images! So interesting!
Thanks, Anita, for sharing another one of your wonderful columns. I sure hope your columns inspire others.
Anita, A wonderful column - and nice advertisement for the library - and I love ALL librairies. And now a workshop - how fabulous.
Thanks for sharing.

Great column, Anita. Drawing in the library is fun. I do it quite often for the scavenger hunts. It's especially nice when the weather outside isn't cooperating. Our library has a cafe and an area where you can sit by a fireplace. Nice job. The class sounds like fun...if I was only a bit closer. lol
Wonderful drawings and a great layout Anita, very inspirational!
Oh that must have been so tempting Marion, not sure I'd have been so good at resisting.
Yes, Only just announced the workshop so lots of spaces right now...Are you in?
Thanx Teri!
Thanx Donn, me too..that would be wonderful!
