Reading the paper and a pint of beer

Reading the paper and a pint of beer on a Saturday afternoon at the Electricity Show Rooms pub in Hoxton.

The physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living!

Shark suspended in a tank of formaldehyde.  Part of Damien Hurst's current exhibition at the Tate Modern. I liked this and the sliced up cows.  The butterfly room and flies with cow head were pretty impressive too.    Not sure about some of the other stuff.

I like to travel on Eurostar


Some sketches from a recent trip to the Netherlands....

Travelling in style on the Eurostar - more pleasant than flying.


M&S Belgian Lager! I don't usually buy supermarket brand beer, but I wanted some beer to take on the train and it was the only beer I could buy at St Pancras Station. Seemed appropriate as we were travelling to Amsterdam via Belgium!  Tasted pretty good too.


Sketching the view and drinking a cold beer in the sun in the Jordaan - I love Amsterdam.
