Managed a return visit to this beautiful place on Saturday with my sketchbook.

Another quick sketch from our drove while the Sunday roast crisped in the oven. The derelict house on Mrs Thackers' farm looks so sad and unloved but has so much character.

Today I accidently bent the nib on my Lamy Safari right the way back (ouch!) I managed to bend it back the other way again and drew this spread with it. The ink is flowing more freely which in turn takes some drying but it works a treat still, no scratching or failure to make a mark.
Lamy pens are just amazing!
A quick detour on the way home from my weekly grocery shop.

My new studio friend; a 3.5 inch Russ bear from my Mums huge collection, I have named Titch
A couple of quick sketches in Choices Cafe In Ramsey, Cambridgeshire.
I tried a cafetiere of 'Lazy Sunday' which I was not impressed with at all, still, the food was good!
The three new Daniel Smith colours I purchased recently, as a little treat, and some experimenting!
This cafe is part of DJ Nurseries and was formerly 'Bluebell Cafe'. When it changed hands I worried that the quality of the food would change too but it didn't and this is still the best place to get a full English breakfast in Cambridgeshire in my opinion....Fantastic!
All things striped

Another of my January sale purchases and a scene from the film "Ladies in Lavender" starring the wonderful Dame Judy Dench.
Another trip into Ely to visit my favourite tearoom 'Peacocks' for yet another delicious Devon cream tea.... The homemade blackcurrant jam is to die for!
Met Ian and Sarah, who took an interest in my journal...Lovely couple!
A very quick sketch due to a horrid drizzly day but it's always worth a trip to the seaside for a fish 'n' chip supper!
The waiting room, Papworth Hospital.

One of my students started to work on a still life this week in class and after she left I made a quick sketch of her set up.

On Sunday, while my roast finished crisping in the oven, I set my mobile alarm for twenty minutes and headed off down the drove to the adjacent farm for a quick sketch on a spread I had prepared with watercolour earlier that morning.
I slipped a blob of white gouache in my watercolour palette and added it to my mixes for some opaque coverage in areas.
Just as my alarm sounded, the heavens opened and I was so pleased I had taken the car!

On Saturday I took a drive into Ely for a cream tea, in my favourite tea shop, and a sketch. After my delicious lunch I sketched the "Ladder House" from the car, so called because it was use to house the ladders for the nearby brewery.
