Had a busy morning in London earlier in the week and ended up at one of my favourite places, a tiny tearooms called Ruskins tucked away down Museum Street, opposite one of my other favourite places, The British Museum. I was footsore and tired and badly in need of a nice cuppa tea tea and one of Ruskin’s delicious giant Florentines to pick me up. The tea was lovely and came in a big pot. The Florentine was just fabulous. I’m not normally too keen on sweet things but I make an exception for one of these. I sat back and sketched the table but I couldn’t resist picking away at the Florentine. I like the way my reflection is distorted in the pot.It fortified me after a morning shopping for printmaker’s supplies and got me ready for an afternoon at the British Museum. But that’s for another blog 🙂

I have a lot of trouble with the British Museum, because the coffee shop is rubbish! Recently I’ve been taking the chance to visit the London Review Cakeshop instead of just settling for a terrible coffee.
Hope you had a nice time!
Ah yes. That’s why I go to Ruskins. Where’s the London Review Cakehsop then?
I’ve been enjoying your recent quick sketches….there is something to drawing things fast and freely. Two pages for one sketch…that’s thinking outside the box..loved!
Thanks Hansi. I’m trying to get as fast as possible. It means you have to focus on what’s really important. My sketchbook is so tiny that I often use double pages.
