Happy Holidays and Harvesting

We have been away for nearly three weeks at our daughter's wedding in Rome and then to Chamonix and Wengen in Switzerland. In the time I have been away the gardens have grown like topsy and there is a lot of fruit and vegetables to harvest from among the weeds.

I was manning Alston Art Show yesterday and made these cards.

Dotty birds

Houses in the main street that back onto the graveyard.
Many of the houses are very old

Looking down Alston main street.
Natural beauty

The  Derwentwater clock in St Augustine's church in Alston.
This clock is very unique

Look at the different field colours
