On Monday I sought out a bench in the sun near the church in Lavenham (St. Peter and St. Paul’s) and found a nice spot to sketch round the back. Despite the brief spell of sunshine I had to do this pretty quickly as I soon began to feel the cold.

I am a bit late on posting my sketches as I have been busy visiting friends, but here is one from last week, done one evening…sitting in a different spot in my parents living room.

Here is an evening doodle, done after everyone except me had gone to bed, of the bits and pieces laying around in the living room…plus of course two china cats!

Each year Lavenham holds a little 3 day festive fair with stalls selling anything from cheese to jewellery. On Sunday I nipped out to the square and sat on a bench to sketch in the cold. As well as stalls there was a big Ferris wheel with someone on a microphone calling “one more for the next ride” all the time.

We went out to the Lavenham fair on Saturday but it was too crowded (and cold) to sketch, so instead here is another evening sketch of another corner of my parents house. In the picture are my niece Erin with her brother Osian.

Here is one of my parents watching the TV. They don’t think much of it and said that “it’s awful”. Well, I admit that the sketch of my mum looks pretty dire and it doesn’t look like them very much, but I am trying! My other excuse is that it was done very quickly.

While I have been visiting my mum and dad I have still been working occasionally. They don’t have a desk I can use in the house, so I work on a little coffee table which gets a bit crowded! There is an after work beer on this table too.

Another evening doodle of yet more china cats – this one done while watching Star Trek!

Here are a few peculiar things you can see outside a furniture shop (Marshbeck Interiors) opposite where my parents live. I’ve these passed several times and couldn’t resist sketching them. There is an elephant that seems to be made of driftwood and two huge chairs, one which straddles a low wall. I guess the chairs are there as a sign for the shop…as for the elephant, I am not sure!
