Must confess this little sketch of the spire is from a photo I took whilst popping outside
when the sun broke through.............
... so while it was sunny we found a bench and I chose these two diverse buildings in the cathedral grounds. I think the one on the left is the chapel and assume the dutch architectured white house is the home of someone who works in the cathedral - lucky family.........
By the time we were frozen through with a cold wind blowing up, we dashed back to the restaurant for lunch where, when we arrived around 11 am , we had gone straight for latte and cake before beginning our endeavours. Here's part of our table 14..............
........... and by 3.30 we were in the cloisters sitting in the sun trying to understand the intricate design of one of the archways....
A good fun day and thankfully Clive had kindly offered to cook his famous meatballs and tagliatelli for dinner. So we got home in plenty of time for a little sip of alcohol before settling down round the dining table.

Sounds like a wonderful day, in spite of the cold. Good food, good friend, good wine, more good food - oh, and creating art!! What fun it would be to have a close artist friend who would go out on adventures with me - you are so lucky!
Looks a good crawl Joan with the normal gallons of coffee :D
It's always a delight to read one of your posts where you have had a day out with your friend and end up with a good meal at the end! Sounds very cozy. Love the sketches! You will be ready for Italy for sure!
Oh my, sound like so much fun and I really like your sketches.
Thanks fellow bloggers - yes it was a great day together. Strange Sue to realise you were sketching in hot Doha whilst we froze at the same time in windy Norwich!!
