British Red Sportscar

A trip back to the old place, Hints and Tamworth, pics of various places, what was The Peel Hotel, the house where I used to live, the local village church, the village hall…the Castle, the old Rose Bros showroom where as a kid, I would go there on Saturdays and sit on Fordson tractors while my Dad worked there…and of course…..an ice cream!!!

On May Day Monday. Nice drive there and back, thankfully uneventful, compared to an incident on the Cat and Fiddle a few years back!

The pdf shows some of the paintings and drawings I have done…They look a bit dark, and I will photo them again, and add descriptions…when I have a minute!

Hope you can open and see this…Pages 13 and 14 in particular!!!!

Every Monday morning, a group of classic cars meets in Chesterfield Market Square…and it’s free! I started coming to this a few weeks ago, a few Mogs, plus lots of others, with a Drinks and eats cafe next door, and a great bunch of owners… Come along…

I haven’t painted for years…..but have taken it up, and even joined a class that meets weekly..
Here is my first effort…from a photo taken when we were in China last year…

So, so busy there today….as it is much of the time….lots to see, nice to wander around. We went to the chip shop where I ‘discovered’ cheesy chips yonks ago…but they had run out of cheese! Still the chips were pretty good…

A wander to Dronfield and back…
Nice sunshine.no rain…avoidable mud!

With the help of cheap rail tickets! Chilly damp day, but a nice group of us…saw a few things, drank a couple of beers, ate well…and discovered a ‘new’ game called Toad in the Hole…

from yesterday…the end of the barn looks like a squirrel to me……the view through the trees is a photo I take there every time I walk along that path, and the view is looking over our village…
