Return from the frozen north

Just got back from a two day trip to Chesterfield and Sheffield. It was cold, I must say. There was a small museum in Chesterfield that had some interesting information about the city and various other things. I bought some cool postcards and patches from there, took a few photos of the city and the museum (cucumber straighteners! I was flabbergasted that there is such a thing!). On Friday we journeyed into Sheffield, went around the shops, another museum, etc. I got some cool images that I want to do paintings from, so tomorrow or Tuesday I plan on going into the woodworking workshop and getting taught how to make canvases. Should be fun, and then I can just buy some paints and start up on it again. In all, its been a good weekend. I still need to try a bit more of the animated .gifs, but that will come in time. I've been sketching and reading and stuff, so I will get it done.
