Thanks Norah. I think it's just that recently I've been getting in a session each week that's improving the drawing. For my last years at school I went to St. Mary's just opposite the church, so it was a regular hunting ground for me also!

Another great wc John, wish I had your drawing skills.  I went to college there for a while so like Sally it brings back some great memories.  Winter is a great time to paint if you have your hot bottle handy but agree about the atmosphere and of course as we seem to paint around mid-day the sun is in a better place for painting (when it comes out)

Many thanks Sally and Deirdre. I do enjoy this time of year for the colours and melancholy atmosphere the light creates. Sally, you obviously know the scene, did you work or live in the area at some point?
