Taking it easy

On Sunday it was actually sunny and I didn't want to drive anywhere far yet, I had planned to go to a Church of England sunday service but chickened out and so went wandering instead. On Monday, it was raining as well as a bank holiday-which in England means most things are closed. What wasn't closed was cancelled because of the rain. So I spent Sunday wandering around the village and Owlpen, and sketched some, bought some food in the small local shop (fresh local baked bread, brown free-range eggs, butter, jam and organic milk-this was some of the best food I have ever had!) took pictures, and relaxed. On Monday I practice driving by going to the nearest bigger town, Dursley, to find a supermarket and some maps. I found both and spent then spent the rest of the day sketching the colored drawing of the path next to the church and this sketch of a tile. I also watched BBC television which I found very entertaining.

These cows live on a farm right next to Owlpen.
Pretty view from the Owlpen road.
Flowers in the hedgerow.
An Uley house.

Uley house with white roses around the door. This photo doesn't do justice to how pretty it looked.
