Before anything else, a salute to Noreen's 90th birthday yesterday.  The blog would not be the same without her wit and wisdom.  I gather she had a lovely, busy day, and I am sure we all wish her many more.
It seems a good number went to Walberswick today and here is some of the evidence -

What a perfect day to be by the sea - although I expect Ian would have preferred a more lively sky, and, as he expects that his sketch from today will be worked on over the winter - it may yet end up with one!
Carolyn did some drawing from life in her garden, the foxglove with Inktense and the Salvia with coloured crayons, and has also asked whether there would be photos from today's visit for her to use from home.  I know I failed to pass this request on early enough, and we do have two, but perhaps someone has some large photos from today or from a previous visit that they could either send direct to Carolyn, or to Noreen to be added to next week's blog. 
Thanks this week go to Jackie for the group photos and one of the landscapes - and here is her work from today

Frances wasn't able to go today, but sent a sketch and then painting done of Dunwich, with added birdlife!
Several sketches here from Sally L, and thanks to her for the landscape photo above with the buildings.
Next Avril, who sent an iPad drawing/painting and an ink sketch.
Lesley is away sailing this week and has sent a quick watercolour sketch of the remaining town gate in Sandwich, Kent. It was built in 1346 and restored in the 16th century! It’s on the Town Quay, where their boat was moored (see second picture).
From Diana, who also didn't make it today, but worked at home from Cornish photos, 1.Watercolour pencil. “ St. Mizzle- on -the -Moor “, 2.Water soluble oil,  3.Haven’t a clue what I’m doing,  4.What a difference a few telegraph poles make...
I have spent quite a lot of this week in the studio, scraping old paint of palettes and covering over unsatisfactory paintings to re-use their canvases, not so much on painting and drawing, maybe next week will be more fruitful. The deadline for submission for the Diss exhibition has passed, but it has been extended to the weekend, so get your entries in!  I am happy to receive photos of your form, provided they are readable.
Don't forget Noreen will be blogging next week, so send your pictures to her, whether you make it to Angela's or not.  I understand there are thunderstorms forecast for the weekend, but hopefully they will be long gone by next Thursday.
