I'm a bit non productive at the moment so decided to look through my mountain of sketch books.   These were all done in situ on happy holidays  I love watching people and try to get them quickly, the poor lady with the sausage fingers sussed me.   Denise posted some very nice holiday sketches the other day and I know Alan does them. , don't have to be people just happy place memories...not from photographs if poss...I challenge you So any more please .

They are great Sylvia and Gillian. Here is a plein air from camping last year,  a watercolour. The other two from my trip last week, the one of the pier is unfinished as it was sketched in the dark and the perspective, I couldn't quite see very well.

Holiday?  Horny handed sons of toil here, Sylvia.  We have no time for life's fripperies.  I could have drawn when attending housing conferences, but was far too busy sloping off to dine in bijou restaurants.... as you were, no, I mean keenly listening to the debates.  John Selwyn Gummer addressed us on one occasion - spell-bound wasn't the word. No, I mean, it really WASN'T the word.  The hall stealthily but steadily emptied.  You wouldn't have wanted a drawing from that event; and I haven't had a proper holiday in the last 40 years,  I'll have another medal, in addition to the other one you're going to give me.   A plaque would be a nice touch, too.
