Charcoal sketching

What does one do when on holiday in deepest frozen  Herefordshire?  Stay in the warm and attend one of the activities organised by the hotel staff.
I had the opportunity to try out using charcoal (very different to the normal pencil). Having selected a photograch to copy we set to work....and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
I am happy with the result, given it's a first attempt.  There's no doubt about which picture is the oricinal photocopy though!!
