Between eating and chatting (and a phone call from my husband), I managed to eek out this sketch at lunch at Shafe’s Landing in Petty Harbour, Nfld, just south of St. John’s. I ate fish ‘n chips (battered fried fish and fries) for my first restaurant meal in the province. I love battered fish (I [...]

Bowl of chips and malt vinegar, Vanilla Kitchen, Tideswell.
I love Tideswell village. Recently I've been making the trip at least once a week to do some drawing. I love drawing so much. I want to keep learning. I want to learn how to draw buildings and landscapes. And, for me, there's no better place than Tideswell. It's a gorgeous village. Hopefully, one day soon, I'll show you some of the drawings I have made there. Drawings, that is, of the views, rather than the things I am comfortable drawing. Like chips.
Wooden Owl, charity shop, Tideswell.

I forgot to mention, in my last post, that I would be away this week. It was all the excitement about my 'dates' with Stephen Stills. Of course, they weren't really dates (only in my head) I just went to see him playing live. Tonight I'll be dating Alan Partridge. Then in a couple of weeks Paul Weller. It's all go when you are so popular. I don't know how I keep up.
Anyway, all going well, I should have a drawing to post over the next couple of days. So, I'll see you guys soon with new drawings, news on my prints, some other creative projects and all the gossip about the men in my life. Until then, cheerio my ducks.
Oh, what a pretty place. Personally I think the best Fish and Chips can be found at Snoopy’s…
Jazz: Here, here! Snoopy’s is my benchmark. : ) All fish n chips meals were as good as Snoopy’s, except the one above, but only because of the batter on the fish.
Judging by the photos, Petty Harbour looks like a lovely place! Your little lunch spot sounds (and looks) like the perfect pick for a road trip stop, and, aside from the batter, the fish and chips appear to have hit the spot!! I’m not a fan of fried foods, but living in London (I must confess) I could not resist the fish and chips, served up in the standard newspaper cone, and sprinkled with malt vinegar! And yes, cod is far superior to haddock, in my opinion!
Can’t comment on Snoopy’s F&Cs, as everything I’ve ever had there was served in a bottle, but I’m sure they’re great!!
