I spent a few hours in the company of some lovely artists, in the equally lovely Peterborough Green Back Yard, last Sunday afternoon. The GBY is a community allotment which is not only a sight for sore eyes in the middle of the city, but full of friendly people, passionate about being green and creative in the middle of urban sprawl. Lynne Collins has organised the Peterborough branch of the Urban Sketchers, and the group of artists is very welcoming and friendly. Not to mention the cake! Volunteers at the GBY are happy to chat, explain and generally make you feel welcome. Thanks to Richard, who lives on my road, and Jasmine, of remaking it such an enjoyable experience!

Some very quick 5B pencil sketches.
There was a 'Silky' chicken, a lovely brown/black colouring , a small
grey rabbit, and a Giant breed of rabbit, larger than a dog, who was amazing!
My favourite sketch is the coy looking rabbit at the bottom left of the page
