Last Sunday morning, while waiting for my daughter to get out of bed, instead of hanging around doing noting I went for a little walk near her house and sketched this. I had frozen fingers even though I was wearing new fingerless gloves – yet there were boys kicking a ball around, wearing shorts…I’m certainly not acclimatised to the UK.

Last weekend I drove down to Brighton to see my daughter. I arrived early and had 30 minutes to wait while she came from the train station…naturally I took the opportunity to sketch, but decided staying in the warm of the car was the best idea! This sketch looks towards Queen’s Park.

Here is the second sketch I did down in Brighton – having breakfast in the kitchen of my daughters shared house, while she packed her bags. She is a big fan of Marmite. One of her friends has decorated the kitchen with flamingos!

Here is a sketch I did one morning down in Brighton in my daughters bedroom. She is a dinosaur fan hence the soft toy on the bed. Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone who has followed, liked and commented on my sketches and blog.

Shopping in the lanes in Brighton, we stopped for a coffee at a cafe called “Wai kika moo kau” – this is the view from where we sat.

Just a quick doodle in the AirBnB place we stayed on the outskirts of Brighton – a nice 1930’s house with wooden floors.

Here is a sketch done last night at a small restaurant in Brighton. They have a tilted mirror on the wall that reflects everything at a angle.

In Brighton we stayed in a Travelodge hotel – very spacious, clean and comfortable. Waking up early (still dealing with jet lag) I drew this view out of the window as soon as it got light.

Our first stop in the UK was Sussex University where our daughter is studying. On Tuesday she took us in to Brighton where there is an ice skating rink set up outside the Royal Pavilion. I did this sketch from the warmth of a coffee shop, while watching our daughters skate. I got the dates mixed up on the drawing because of the jet lag!
