Sidmouth is it's usual relaxing friendly self. Yesterday was spent sketching in the village, did eight nice ones, picked up a commission to sketch a locals cottage; that's done and handed over to a very happy client.

Today went for a short walk in the local woodland, saw an amazing old oak tree trunk; it was massive. That was a very big and old tree before it's demise.

Joan Collins and Pixie Lock are filming a musical by the Connaught Gardens, so we are seeing lots of film crew and eating caravan units at that end of the seafront. Haven't seen either of them; but to be honest I didn't look very hard.

Tomorrow looks like a little rain may appear, so we are planning a standby wet weather program.

The above water-colour which was painted last year, it shows the beginning of the Jurassic coast as it leaves Sidmouth towards the east.
