 A few blogs back, it was mentioned that I had a clear out and offered a painting of Nigh Neb near Sheffield to a good home, well it was snapped up very quickly by an old student from Sheffield university. 

At the same time a large file (about forty) paintings of Filey, Yorkshire also appeared; Above is one of them. This is a lovely ink drawing and not necessarily looking for a good free home, of the Coble Landing. At Filey there is a long concrete ramp down to the beach and in the past this is where the fishing boats were dragged up on to, in order that they were safe from the sea. I was fortunate some years ago to be able to make friends with many of these fishermen, spending time on the Coble Landing (as they call this concrete ramp) in order to make a fairly comprehensive record of their work. I haven't been able to return to Filey for bout twenty years, but when I was last there, they were reaching the point when it would not be possible to operate boats from the Landing. I must try to get back there to see what is happening.

At the same time another file on Lincoln cathedral appeared. The scanning and digitalising of the Filey work is now done, next in line is to do the same to the new Lincoln file. Its a good job that I like what I do.
