On our travels continued....

Sometimes it is difficult to know quite where to begin with a blog post after we have been away.  I gather a lot of photos on my iPhone (very easy to carry and use aren't they).  However, I think I just have to get stuck in ....  so here's WHITE HORSE HILL (click link)

(incidentally, some of these photos you may have already seen on William's blog, but I thought I would share them here too, and I've added extra photos)

This next photo doesn't have UFO's in it....I took this pic through the car window whilst I sat enjoying a mug of coffee

I took this next video clip to show the 180 degree view

and looking down into the dip of the hillside, you might be able to see sheep being moved from one field to another in this next clip....

Watch out William, dad has his camera!

Photo of the photographer, 

and William really didn't want to pose!

he looked away on purpose....so annoying, lol.

Here's another link from Wikipedia about this hill and the white horse

The striking thing about this view, was that it seemed to go on for ever.  

We were so fortunate to have such a clear day...and oh those cloud formations were stunning.

(I love hearing your thoughts, so please give me feedback, it will make my day)

On our travels again

Yes, on our travels again and just got back from Oxfordshire.  A few days away is always nice and one afternoon I got to join the Oxford Urban Sketchers, which was great.  They gave me a warm welcome, I felt as though I had always known them, must be the kindred artist spirits.   We met in the High Street in Oxford at St Mary the Virgin Church, where we chose different aspects within the building to draw.  An added bonus happened to be that there was a Concert on at the time, so we got to enjoy background music too.

I'll stop chatting now and add photos of the building and some sketches - and to give you an idea of the location, here's the Google street view of it......

the next photo is from a galleried area...

...and I sneakily got a couple of photos of my fellow sketchers....

Wendy and Kate, if you have happened by here,

it was great meeting you both.

Outside, not the High Street side but in

Radcliffe Square

is this unusual library, it literally is round!

about time I added my sketches don't you think....
