On a glorious day there was another good turnout for the monthly sketching day. The location on a hill farm had good views around, especially from the nearby hilltop tower.

There were interesting buildings around the hamlet, including a Methodist chapel, a former pub and agricultural buildings.

After a welcome coffee from our hospitable hosts, the members spread out to sketch their chosen subjects.

Our hosts found enough chairs for the sharing lunchtime feast and entertained the group with humorous tales from country life and time spent judging cattle at shows.
