It's always good to get out and walk
...and when you can take the camera plus a sketchbook, it's even better.
We went over the Heddon Valley yesterday and here's some pics
A typically rural scene - although fast declining what with mobile phones |
Lots of little groups of primroses dotted around on our walk |
Hunters Inn - a Very popular place in the Summer months - to the right of the pic is the National Trust shop |
Pencil sketch of a shed near the National Trust shop |
Initially sketched in pencil, then I added watercolour. 🌳 🌳 🌳 |

Sketching others working...
It's quite nice to see how work is progressing on a huge rebuild
down in Devon at
Woolacombe on the former Narracott hotel.
Soon to become apartments, restaurant, spa, swimming pool,
you name it, they will have it.
Meanwhile, workmen are all over the build in various stages of refurb.,
which is why I stopped to do a quick sketch

Mothers Day
A week ago it was Mothers Day here in the UK...and I got really spoilt by our kids who bought me some lovely gifts, plus gorgeous flowers, which I took pics of and thought you may like seeing them too...(and if anyone wants to use this blogposts photos for art inspiration, then please go ahead and use them).

Roman Villa
We try to visit a few National Trust properties when we are on our trips away, and came across
Chedworth Roman Villa
Not our usual preferred place for visiting, but as we were nearby we thought it would be worth a stop. In fact the drive to it was lovely. Open countryside, gorgeous views. I'll add links at the end of this post....
Museum and offices |
looking from a raised platform down onto the mosaic |
as you see from the pictures, there is a lot of missing pieces |
it's a bit like a giant jigsaw puzzle |
Sorry I didn't take more photos, and although the weather looks good, it was actually
❄️❄️❄️ Freezing Cold ❄️❄️❄️
Here's a link to the webpage
