Swindon and Cricklade Railway
We had a great day out at this local heritage railway site. The weather was good, the Whistlestop Cafe was open for snacks, the many volunteers were welcoming and helpful. This was a volunteer work day and, although no trains were scheduled to run, we did see the arrival of Thomas the Tank Engine on a low loader ready for next weekend's Bank Holiday events.

My handbag sketching kit consists of a handmade A6 watercolour sketchbook (a friend gifts me a new one each year), a propelling pencil, a Pilot G-Tec watersoluble pen, a white Gelly Roll (useful on toned paper), a water brush, a Koh-i-Noor multi-coloured pencil and maybe a couple of watercolour or Inktense pencils. The pens and pencils all fit neatly into an old, soft spectacle case. Very easy to "grab and go" in case there is a sketching opportunity.
If out for a dedicated sketching day, I will add an A5 sketchbook, a tiny set of watercolours and a small water spray.
