Every year the Year 1 class trip to Marwell Zoo is scheduled for January - I always feel that's a bit of a risk to take with the British weather being what it is. Our first date had to be cancelled due to snow, then it was re-booked for today. I've been watching the weather reports with great trepidation as heavy rain was predicted since last week and the forecast didn't change. The idea of traipsing round a deserted zoo with 90 wet and miserable children was not appealing....
However, the weather gods smiled on us today - it was damp and a bit drizzly, but we managed to stay dry and most of the animals were out. I got quite a few reference photographs - these will be put in the 'future paintings' folder.
We were subject to time constraints so didn't manage to see everything, but it was still pretty good.
My favourite animals were willing to pose for pictures, so I'm happy!
On the creative side, there is another snow painting on the board; I've been labouring for a week over a knitted Alsatian dog; there will be another little dog set going in my shop soon, and I just received something in the post which will be the perfect prize for my 1000th post giveaway!
