A rare thing happened in the Cotswolds today. We had wall-to-wall sunshine and it was actually WARM. No wet stuff! I had to go to Cirencester in the morning and while there I took the opportunity to sit and enjoy a moment in the peaceful green area of the Abbey Grounds behind the church of St John the Baptist.
Not only did I sit, but I sketched a view of the bandstand and the still wintery-looking tree close to it. I used a Saunders Waterford 140lb Hot Press block 12 x 9″
Unfortunately the good weather is forecast to disappear as rapidly as it came, but I would like to return here for longer later in the summer.
