CROSS KEYS INN, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. UK

You may remember I sketched the exterior of the Cross Keys Inn from outside the Old Bakery Cafe a couple of days ago, well yesterday I went inside!

I saw the 'Morning Coffee' sign as I was driving through Chatteris and decided to park up and pop in and I am so pleased I did, what a feast for the eyes! The inside decor consists of an inglenook fireplace, old blacked beams, brass and iron tools and ornaments, big lamps and cosy sofas and chairs.

I sat in one of the bars, on a little sofa, sipping my latte with just the two cleaners for company, both very friendly ladies with kind smiles, from here I sketched the scene before me in my large moleskin.

DISNEYLAND PARIS - I'm Back!

"I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in Disneyland. I want to feel they're in another world."

- Walt Disney

For me, Disney succeeded in his wish.

Entering through the huge iron gates, face to face with the pink fairytale architecture, one would find it difficult to recall anything but dreams and fantasy. I've spent a magical 4 days in Walt's creation and my face aches from smiling as much as my legs do from walking.

My sketchbook made it back safely with me and I plan to start scanning images from it tomorrow to share here with you.

Thank you all for your patience!
