Recharging The Batteries

Just got back from a weekend away in Cumbria visiting friends. We stayed with friends who own a smallholding in Little Clifton, near the coast. The weather wasn't great, but we still got out and about.

On Saturday, we went into Whitehaven partly for the festival, but mainly to visit another friend who has just taken over management of a pub in the centre of town. It was the first time I'd been to Whitehaven. The town is a little shabby in places, but you can see how it must have been in its glory days during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It's full of lovely Georgian townhouses.

I managed to get a little sketching done in between all the socialising...




At The Snecklifter


Sitting in the pub, I started drawing this trio of lads opposite. Unfortunately, they left before I drew them all.

And finally, here is a small preview of my photos from Iceland...
