After a cream tea, one should relax!
Remembered this little white cotton dress I purchased at St Osyths market in Clacton two years ago and have never worn, so pretty with it's lilac rose bud design, of course I had shoes to compliment!

Birthday China
My 'Kirstie Allsopp' designed cup and saucer that my eldest Son Jake purchased for my Birthday.
I sketched the cup earlier in the day and added the saucer later which is why there is such a size difference, the cup is actually a little larger.
Been wanting to sketch this saucer properly for a while, love it's shape.
Such a pretty little set.

Elton Hall, Peterborough, Cambs UK.
Elton Hall only opens to the public a few times a year so I grabbed the chance to take a look around.
I finished up with a sketch in the yellow drawing room, a magnificent room filled with natural light.

Elton Hall, Peterborough, Cambs UK.
After my sketch and cream tea at the nurseries, I still had time for a stroll before Elton Hall opened so I went over to The Old Dairy and grabbed a quick sketch from a picnic table outside the fish restaurant.

Pockets.
Gotta love lots of pockets on a bag!...Especially when they smell of leather and are lined in fabric with tiny purple flowers on.

A Pirates Life.
A small stitch, a feather and a little imagination turned Harrys cowboy hat into a pirate hat, transformed on our return from Hammerton Zoo.
