Orangery Park Sanssouci

 Berlin sketchers meeting in Potsdam to draw the greenhouse in park Sanssouci there. Thought I´d give it another go WITH them. Scorching hot, ran for cover and shade after finishing.

Sessions i the Harp

 After settling in I was desperate to join some irish trad session again. I had found them and where they played. Only their Wednesdays clashed - sometimes with my irish classes on top of teaching the next morning. Eventually, I made it.

This food kept me sain when moving in and probably will, as I won´t have a kitchen for months!
