Days Out

My daughter has been to stay for a few days so we have been to Beamish [the living museum] to see the pigs

and the bull???

and the rocking horse in the school

we also went for a walk around Chopwell Woods

lovely views and wooden sculptures

lovely trees

and a quick visit to the Metro Centre where we saw the giant reindeer and tree

Look at more photos of Beamish on my other blog which were done for a photo challenge

The Sketchbook Challenge

Well I posted off my Sketchbook Project book and now I've started a new one for The Sketchbook Challenge.
The theme for the month is Highly Prized and this is my drawing. [The farmer with his highly prized pigs]

Since the holidays I have been finding it hard to knuckle down to something, I keep doing bits of things here & there so I'm hoping doing this book will get me into gear. Click on image to make it bigger.
