A little page from my field sketchbook. Recently had to do some research (scribbling) at Durham Cathedral. There are some some lovely Norman illustrations in the cloisters there chronicling the life and times of St Cuthbert (the cathedral was built to house his shrine). Reading up on it, it seems his sainthood is pretty much down to the devout way he lived his life, and exemplary services to Christianity. You've got to have a couple of miracles though...here's one that tickled me. I tried to copy the expression as accurately as possible.
I can thoroughly recommend a trip to Durham by the way, it's a beautiful place.

Where does one find a sea-otter to breathe on one's feet? I feel as though I should have at least one!
I believe there are some niche beauty therapists who offer this service - having one's tootsies nibbled by fish being now a trifle passe...
Hey. How recent ? I have been in Durham since june on a film. Maybe we passed in the street ? Wish I had known. I would have tried to sketch you sketching.
Dammit! I was there at the start of July - and yep it would have been good to meet up or , er be stealthily sketched (this time, the hunter becomes the hunted...).
