Well, it's been a very busy week for travelling - I clocked up 9 hours in the last 2 days.
I took a train down to Reading on Wednesday afternoon, but unfortunately had an awful seat for drawing purposes (very high-backed seats and only back views, mainly of people's knees!) so I read my Ian Rankin novel instead. I did these sketches on the way home the next evening.
I had a smashing day on the Thursday at St Finian's Catholic Primary. I kicked off with my PowerPoint talk to Y3 and above, which was great, as all the kids were then even more excited in advance of their individual sessions.
It was a lovely, varied day too: I followed the talk with a couple of storytellings for the littlies, an illustration workshop with Y3, then finally a writing workshop with Y5 (we wrote a story about a hedgehog, who lived in the wall of their classroom, and ended up accidentally jumping out into the Head Teacher's hair!).
It was a bit of a slog back to Sheffield. This is me distracting myself from the cold on Thatcham station, waiting for my connection. I didn't get back home until after 9pm, when John poured me a nice glass of red wine: what a star!
I have nearly a week off now - whoopeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

If you have a fetish for secretly making images of people on trains, then may I suggest using a camera on a mobile phone.
Mr CBD - where's the fun in that?
Too true.
