Urban Sketchers - November meeting

Lately, I seem to have been spending far too much time "doing stuff" on the computer, in addition to trying to sort out my Christmas card for this year.  My original plans for the card didn't turn out quite as hoped and there have been one or two amendments along the way, but all will be revealed later in December.

Anyway, on 3rd November our sketch group met at The Bakers Cafe in the Old Swindon Railway Village, built 170 odd years ago for the workers of Brunel's Great Western Railway Works. Until recent years there were three public houses in the village, The Bakers Arms, The Cricketers and The Glue Pot.  Only The Glue Pot remains as a pub, but the Bakers Arms building has recently been taken over by the community and is trying to establish itself as a meeting place and cafe.  Once again, we had a very good crowd, with 20 sketchers turning up.

I hadn't intended to take a panorama, so it is a bit disjointed

My minimal effort for the day -
A very old organ in one corner and
a mosaic teapot on the mantlepiece
