This weekend is Heritage Weekend in UK with many interesting places open
for free. Yesterday, taking advantage of the lack of entrance fee, I
went to the
Museum of Power, Langford.

The sound and
sight of The 'Simpson' Belt Driven Workshop attracted my attention, so I
decided to sketch there. With so many machines, belts, and interesting
things I chose a small section to focus on and the above sketch is the
result. Here is the in-situ photo. This sketch was done with a sepia
Derwent pencil in A4 Monologue sketchbook. Whilst the afternoon sketch
was Winsor & newton watercolours, Staedtlar Pigment liner in Daler
A5 sketchbook.
After lunch, Degas and I went to Goldhanger for
their Gala Weekend. With a karate demo going on in the churchyard, I
took Degas down the road and walked her around the sea wall before
heading into the village. As musicians were setting up in the Salty Dogs
Tea Room, we headed there. It was the perfect afternoon: What's
better than drinking tea (and eating carrot cake), in a beautiful
garden, listening to live music, with your dog lying at your feet as you
sketch?

It was a lovely day. What would make your perfect day?
