This time last week....

I was setting off to London to visit the V&A with my older sister. We had a fantastic time at the Quilts exhibition, stumbled over some breathtaking Rodin sculptures, and I was awe struck by Norwegian door carvings. The V&A is an amazing trove.

These are some sketches I did in the courtyard of people taking a break and of the fountain installation there.

Greenwich

Our destination in London was Greenwich, and inbetween work stuff, I had the chance to get out and sketch.

I saw the Millenium Dome for the first time (now called something else) and I drew the palace on the river which is now the National Maritime Museum. The drawing of The Tower of London was done from a postcard, as I only saw it looming as the coach drove past in the morning.

Whilst waiting on the coach to drive back to Kings Cross, I sketched the spires across the green. It was lovely to get out of my usual routine for the day, and though a bit tired, I feel refreshed.

London Train Journey

Yesterday, through work, I travelled down to London, and back, just for the day. Looking out of the window these are some of the things I saw, heading down south, and then heading back north again.

It was a productive day on the sketching side, and I also won about £2.00 at three card brag.
