Late spring frost and the protection of vital fruit..


Went out sketching yesterday to the beautiful village of Cranford in Northamptonshire.

Sadly I went ill prepared.. I took my usual kit of course along with flask of coffee and essential chunky kitkat. But I wasn't prepared for the gentle Arctic breeze that has deposited itself in the midlands during the past few days.
I stuck it out for an hour or so...Perched on my malleable and collapsable stool I sketched, shivered and soon realised 'there was a draft.' 
It was most alarming, most uncomfortable and most dispiriting.

I did however manage to knock out some drawings. I shall go back later this week when the temperature promises to be above freezing!
