We woke up to warm sunshine and set off out as soon as possible. We were going to spend the morning sketching at Sandsend under Jenny and David&#8217;s supervision and then the afternoon was free for us to do with as we pleased.<br \/>\nThere were lots of interesting subjects and we soon found a nice spot in the sunshine.<br \/>\nThe only problem was the local livestock. I didn&#8217;t mind the ducks too much, they eventually accepted that we were not going to feed them and left us alone.<br \/>\nThe goat was a different matter. First it tried to see if we had anything suitable to eat ( I believe as far as a goat is concerned, just about EVERYTHING is suitable to eat), then it climbed on the bench and rested it&#8217;s chin on Maria&#8217;s shoulder in order to critique her drawing. I don&#8217;t think he can have liked it very much &#8216;cos he tried to eat it. Mind you from a goat that&#8217;s probably high praise. It&#8217;s all very well for Maria to laugh, she&#8217;s bigger than a goat and for all I know, teddy bears are a favourite part of a goat&#8217;s diet.<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-myimages\/OctGoat.jpg' alt='Goat' \/><br \/>\nAfter lunch I went for a wander along the beach with John, there were some excellent rock pools.<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-myimages\/OctRockPool.jpg' alt='Rock pool' \/><br \/>\nPerhaps I&#8217;ll manage to get hold of the pastels later and start my painting.
