On our Sketchcrawl in Sheffield this morning
England - Sheffield Market
FRANCE - Villy en Auxois
Not far from Dijon. I was surprised at the timber frame to the steeple - I was expecting stonework. Seems obvious now.England, Cornwall, St Ives

Greenhouse Farm - less than a mile from where we live - we're so lucky!
England, London, Channel 4 Building
This building by Richard Rogers - my favourite living British architect. It was so cold on the day I sketched this I was shaking like a jelly in a force 9.
England, Sheffield, Childrens' Hospital
England, SHEFFIELD, St Marie's Cathedral
I can't sketch any faster than this!
England, SHEFFIELD, St Marie's Cathedral
Another from inside the Cathedral Church of St Marie's on a cold Saturday afternoon in dear old Sheffield
England, SHEFFIELD, St Marie's Cathedral
The Cathedral Church of St Marie, SHEFFIELD. This is where I retreated to out of the cold yesterday afternoon. It was designed by Matthew Ellison Hadfield - the founder of the firm of architects I worked for from 1984 to my retirement 144 days ago - Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson. According to Wikipedia it was built from 1846 - 1850. They don't build them like that nowadays!
ENGLAND, Sheffield, Surrey Place
That's me on the Sheffield sketchcrawl. I'm sporting my (3) fingerless gloves knitted by my daughter in Colorado Springs. I've been colder - but I had to sketch inside in the afternoon (images to follow). I lowered my hood for the photo - the only bits of me exposed when I was drawing were my nose and 3 fingers. The best thing about sketchcrawling is that it does make you get up and draw no matter what the temperature is outside.ENGLAND - London, St Paul's Cathedral
St Paul's Cathedral Interior - my first "church" interior drawn on site.
England, Sheffield Cathedral Interior
My Sheffield Cathedral Triptych. Drawn on site, painted at home after I was (gently) throw out at 4 o'clock one Saturday afternoon. My second "church" interior.
