Holiday Weather

We have just returned from holidaying in Herefordshire.  Not exactly ideal holiday weather bet certainly VERY BEAUTIFUL!!

A recent watercolour,  with an unexpected background colour!

Alfred (alias Arthur}

Apologies for previous error, now corrected.  Always did get my Arthurs and my Alfreds confused.

Deep Mid Winter

This is one of my recent watercolours, a possible prediction of the current weather conditions!

Winchester again.

 King Alfred's's statue stands resplendent facing up the main street of Winchester.

 Here in the Great Hall is King Alfred's Round Table displaying the Knight's names.

King Alfred is of great importance in Winchester, here in the Great Hall, beneath Alfred's Round Table sits this splendid bronze of  Queen Victoria.

A new friend.

Dennis is always on the look-out for a dog to make a fuss of.  He struck up a real friendship with this lovely, friendly boy who loved having his tummy tickled.  You can see the admiration was mutual!!
He became such a hit with Dennis we visited the stall three or four times!!

Our Visit to Winchester

We visited Winchester for a few days, to see the Christmas Markets.  Unlike in Essex there was no snow, just bitterly cold, and we had a wonderful time.  The stalls were so very bright and colourful and I hope you enjoy seeing the photo's.
