After popping in for a natter with Emma-Jane at her home in Ely yesterday, I indulged in a cream tea in my favourite tearoom...Peacocks. (With coffee...of course!)
Delicious!

Took Harry to the cinema to watch 'Despicable Me' in 3D, my first time using the 3D glasses...Very impressive!
There is a while when the lights dim for the promos before they go out completely for the feature film, during that time I sketched!

On Sunday I woke in my comfy little bed to find Joan had been sketching me from hers. So I whipped downstairs to make a cuppa and took it back to bed where I sketched Joan in her bed too!

Chilly here recently, had to dig my warm boots out from under the bed to go shopping. Grabbed a quick sketch from the supermarket carpark and then sketched my boots back at home with a hot cuppa!

The table was actually flat, my error not the carpenters! LOL!

Saturday With Sue Pownall

On Friday my good friend Joannie came to stay for the weekend.
On Friday evening we did some sketching from DVD stills of Italian architecture, that have yet to scan, in preparation for our Italian trip next year.

On Saturday morning we drove into Haddenham Galleries, to see my exhibition, before going onto Upware to The Five Mile Inn where I had arranged to meet fellow art blogger Sue Pownall for the very first time.



We spent a wonderful day together, eating, drinking chatting and sketching. Sue is such a lovely woman.



We all hope to meet again in Coltishall, where Joannie lives, when Sue returns from overseas next year, and Sue invited us to visit her in her new appartment in Southern Italy as soon as renovations were complete....How exciting is that!

A great day with fantastic company!

Just like his Mum, Harry is always drawing something.
Unlike his Mum he sketches mainly from imagination which I totally admire him for.

The carnival was on during our stay in Wells and on Saturday various stalls lined the square in the Buttlands. I popped out of the cottage, when the rain paused, to grab a very quick sketch of the pork pie stall. Since there was no where dry to sit, I leaned against the back of an ice-cream van.

A quickie while sinking a latte at The Griffin Hotel, March, Cambridgeshire, UK back in May.

Didn't get a moment to work on my art house project until midnight last night, when I became totally engrossed for over 2 hours trying to perfect no less than 4 self portraits!!!
I'm hoping to find time to complete the pages along with the design elements later today.

Sketched at the Pymoor Show, where Harry and I finally purchased two white ducks. We have been after white ducks with orange beaks and feet for a while now and they are just wonderful!
I named mine 'Marmalade' and Harry named his 'Cadbury'.
