The pot was sketched early morning during a quick ciggarette break on Dads garden bench before heading off to Cambridge for his final radiotherapy session, where I basically doodled in the few moments I had waiting for him.

Joan and I spent a couple of hours in the allotments at the bottom of her road with our sketchbooks and folding chairs. Such an interesting place full of character.
This is my final spread from my trip to Joannies. A fantastic scarecrow who looked absolutely knackered from his day stood in the sun and one of two stained glass windows some one had used to create a small greenhouse building off of one of the many sheds scattered throughout the allotment.
I had a wonderful time, as always, thank you Joan!

I've been wanting to sketch this particular house for over two years now, it sits on the roadside that runs along the top of our drove and I pass it every day. Finally managed a quick rendition earlier this month with the rape field in full bloom.

I was a bit concerned when we brought her home as my Dad once had a goose and it was terrifying! Daisy is wonderful though, she follows me everywhere, eats from my hand and lets me stroke her while she plays with my sequined shoes. LOL!
