Through to the Garden

It’s been a very wet, miserable week, despite the weather forecasters telling us it is Summer. (I think the weather is trying to tell the weathermen not to hurry it. Summer will be with us in its own time). So I looked back at a sketch I did a while ago, looking through a gateway into the garden at Chastleton House, a National Trust property near Moreton in Marsh, just to get the sense that one day, in the not too distant future, we may be able to sit out somewhere like this and enjoy the sun, the smell of the Honeysuckle or the Roses, and know we have the day stretching ahead of us to paint with friends. It’s a good thought!
