Almost forgot to post. Been a busy day dismantling my HUGE fabric stash.

Been doing quite a bit of urban sketching the last few days but have I sat down to paint them?! Uh NO!! These guys from St Augustines Church have met every Thursday at the Inner Bean for YEARS. They can be overheard discussing just about anything. The vicar even sits in at times. And they have a great time.
