Whilst my sketching mojo has made a small comeback this week, I seem to have lost my words, hence the non-title of this post.
On Monday, I had
20 minutes to have a cuppa before a meeting in Somerset House. I sat on the terrace and had to sketch my view of the London Eye.
On Wednesday, I had to go to Maldon and with a spare half hour started to sketch an amazing garden-covered barge. I didn't have time to add colour, so I did it at home later.

Thursday I was stuck in the hairdresser's for ages, so grabbed my A6 Laloran sketchbook. I'm a bit concerned as I don't recognise that old lady in the mirror.

I sketched myself in the same position in 2010. I remember that I didn't wear my glasses and had to squint at the book.

Then yesterday, I joined the Essex & Suffolk Sketchers at Henny
fete, where I visited a local garden, which happened to be serving cream
teas. Using a Daler A5 sketchbook, I sketched it to justify eating it
despite my ever expanding waistline.

Finally,
I did a very quick sketch trying to capture a feeling of the
quintessential English fete, whilst my assistant dug herself a hole.
As it was so colourful, I used a rainbow pencil by Lyra in my A5 Daler sketchbook.

So that was my sketching week. Now if I could only think of a title...
