On Tuesday I modelled for another Yerbury Workshop at the beautiful Maunsel House about 10 minutes drive from my house. The last workshop we did there was back in February (linky) when the grounds were covered in snow, so we mostly stayed indoors but this time I spent the majority of the day outdoors.
Arrived around 9am and got ready with Lozie who was also modelling. She introduced me to Vaseline Cocoa Butter body oil which I absolutely have to get some of, it makes a really nice delicate sheen on the skin.
The morning was spent with Trevor giving a talk and then demonstrating how they work, setting up different shots with Lozie and I while the delegates listened and took a few of thier own shots.
Then break for lunch, they provide the most yummy food at Maunsel House! Home-made chicken and mushroom pie with many vegetables and then apple pie and custard for desert. I was pretty hungry and managed two helpings of main course and also polished off desert (and this was after eating plenty of coconut biscuits on the coffee breaks earlier! I think modelling naked makes me more hungry than usual!). I love the room that lunch is served in at Maunsel too, it's like a small bar with stone walls all totally covered in antique weapons and taxidermy mounts. I need to take some photos if I'm there again sometime!
After lunch the delegates split into two groups (one indoor group with Trevor and one outdoor group with Faye) and got to set up thier own shots and try out what they had learned in the morning. I modelled for both outdoor groups, really enjoying the mild weather. The wind was slightly chilly but I totally forget about that once I get into posing. Managed to get a little more scraped than I intended by doing odd poses on my shoulders on the hard groud (but it looked cool, this is the important thing!) and went home feeling tired but satisfied that I had done a good job. Muscles aching slightly the next day, but in that good way that means I wored hard!
There are several of Trevor ad Faye's images already up on their blog, I think this one is my favourite of me so far :)

Maunsel house is not too far away from here, a friend of mine was also there on Tuesday doing some preperatory stuff for her wedding. She's getting married there in August; says it's beautiful.
I'm new, by the way, don't think I ever introduced myself. I found your work whilst looking up some reference material around the net for some illustrations I was doing. Didn't realise you were local until recently. That's pretty neat. :)
lol so jealous you can eat all that food and still look the way you do lol
