We did it! Was a great ride and well organised. We rode quite a good time, too, and were able to hold our own against the many folks riding road bikes. Thanks again to all who supported our team, and to Benedict for being such an inspiration.

Did some cycling around Warwick today to get a feel for the countryside before tomorrow’s Palace to Palace ride. We went to the beautiful Charlecote Place, a Tudor manor house with a large garden designed by Capability Brown. And on the way back via Leamington we found a wood covered in bluebells, which I had hoped for at this time of year.

The boys, my dad and I are waiting for the ferry across the Channel from France (after having missed the one we booked thanks to Belgian traffic).

Wish us fair winds and weather for our Palace to Palace Bike Ride for the Prince’s Trust on Sunday. If anybody lives in Warwick and vicinity, you can come and cheer us on. Also, thanks so much for all who donated to our team. We raised 500 Pounds thanks to your efforts.

The “Shaving Scene” from Mildredandbobbin’s fabulous The Beast of Baskerville.

This is my second drawing inspired by this fanfic. The first, “That was riduculous”, can be found here. A third is in the works.

I included a photograph of my sketchbook because I liked how the light brings out the strokes of the soft pencil. I’m using a much softer pencil (5B) for these drawings than my usual F or HB, to give them a slightly darker and rougher look to mirror the medieval setting.

mildredandbobbin asked: I just saw the art you did of the 'against the wall' scene in Beast! It's brilliant, so terrific! I am just so chuffed that you were inspired to art my fic. Wow! *happy dance*

I’m glad you like it. Can’t wait for the next chapter of the story.

Anonymous asked: Seeing the Benedict Cumberbatch appreciation post on your bog, reminds me of something that suddenly appeared on my dash today: another appreciation post! Here it is: legendofsherlock(.)tumblr(.)com/post/49299922864/benedict-cumberbatch-the-thinking-girls :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did ^-^ (not my blog but I wanted to give rightful credits~) He's truly amazing :) :)

Thanks a lot for the link. It’s true, he can’t be appreciated enough. I think I’ve seen these slides before (or something very similar), but they’re always nice to look at again :).

“That was ridiculous.”

Inspired by Mildredandbobbin’s fabulous The Beast of Baskerville, a medieval AU that’s gripped me somewhat badly because of the brilliant characterisation and historical detail and the UST.

Therefore, there are going to be at least two more drawings: the shaving scene and a certain one from Chapter 8.
