Here is the first sketch I did on the day after we arrived in Manchester. We had planned to go hot air ballooning early in the morning but it didn’t push through because of poor weather in York. Instead we just hung out at our daughters house, filled the rental car with a ‘big shop’ and went out for a little walk (in a little park near the university of Manchester where I sketched this woman snoozing) and a milk shake. My milk shake was banana and peanut butter flavour…so thick it was like ice cream.
