On a walk in Stamford meadows...

Grey day, grey city.

Whereas our nearest town, Stamford (5 miles away) is beautiful and filled with green spaces and Georgian stone architecture, our nearest city - Peterborough - is quite grim and grey, filled with lots of shops and malls that lose their allure to me after about five minutes of enthusiasm at the possible benefits of shopping in a city. There's a wonderful cathedral, though, and I did these drawings at the point where the cathedral close meets the shopping precinct.

MOT test

This was about a three minute sketch (who's counting) done while I was waiting for my car to come through its MOT test. This mother was so serene and good natured, or am I fantasising?

Speed

I've been in the mood for making really really quick sketches.

Business as usual

On the drive outside the house, yes, it's that old chum, death underfoot, on a crisply lit day.

Hot, clear day in Jaffa

I still have so much material I'd like to use in my photographs from Israel, but will stop mining this source when I come to the end of this sketchbook...
