DODDINGTON HIGH STREET

HB pencil in moleskin

I arrived a little early at the school to collect Harry yesterday afternoon so I rummaged through my bag to find my moleskin and realised I had left my travel kit at home (This happens when you change handbags mid-week) Luckily I am a forward thinker and had already stashed a HB pencil in the inside zipped pocket of all my handbags enabling me to capture a quick sketch!

ST ANDREWS HALL, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.

I had a few moments before life class today, so I sat in the truck and sketched the venue, St Andrews Hall in Whittlesey.

The sun finally broke through yesterday and lasted the whole day. My eldest decided to make the most of the good weather by meeting friends for some cricket practice and I made use of my journey to deliver him there by creating a quick sketch of Doddington church. This view is quite a distance from the church and there is a huge field leading to the spot I sketched but time was limited and it was the church itself and the surrounding rooftops that caught my interest, so that is where I concentrated my time.

ELY, Cambridgeshire. UK

I returned to Ely again this week and took lunch in the garden at the Almonry Restaurant where there is a fantastic view of the Cathedral and other beautiful architecture. From my table I could see this cluster of buildings clearly.
Time was limited during my visit but I am pleased to have captured at least one quick sketch in my large moleskin sketchbook.
