It’s Christmas Eve so this will be a short one. Just wanted to say thanks for all the follows and comments this year and to wish you all the warmest wishes of the season.
Also, some of you sketching fans may be interested to learn about the Society of Architectural Illustration – full of great drawings by architectural illustrators all over the world. I have been working towards joining this society for some time and not long ago sent off a few examples of my work. I’m really pleased to have been elected a member and the Wedgwood Door, Burslem is now my profile avatar!
I will close with a section of St Edward Street, Leek, where last Saturday I had a coffee in Spout (served up in Blue Calico Burleighware – fantastic!) with a great view of the opposite side of this historic street – formerly known as Spout Street.
Thanks for reading,
Ronnie

Happy Christmas to you. I am in New Mexico, USA, and thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Spouts and tour of St.Edward Street. The mugs were lovely, and I most likely will order one. This morning, I am drinking from a Dunoon china cup that was made in England, so we’re almost both in the same mode. Dark coffee in a lovely cup… mine, has dragonflies on it. Lovely. Thank you for your work, it invites us to come and see.
Thanks Jean! It does make a difference having coffee out of a lovely mug – I have several favourites! Wishing you a very happy Christmas too! Ronnie
