From Newark to Emley

Today I set off from Newark in Nottinghamshire, headed for home via a few villages in West Yorkshire including Woolley, Notton, Flockton and Emley. I saw some BIG landscapes and BIG skies....

My Accommodation for one night - Just kicking back in my Mongolian Yurt man

Eddlesborough

Monday 23rd - Wednesday 25th July. Eversholt - Quainton. Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire border. At last, after what seemed like about 6 weeks of non stop rain, the promotional tour swings back into action. 

These two pictures were taken along the Grand Union Canal outside the B&B I stayed in - 'the Brownlow' near Ivinghoe, which I can highly recommend www.accommodationinleightonbuzzard.co.uk . I love walking along the side of a canal - there's something about them that makes you slow down. The pace of life seems much more un-hurried on a narrow boat and I like that.

This was taken in the village of Quainton, near Aylesbury. Late afternoon/early evening.

The Union Flag

A few weeks ago during the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations, I painted a quick union flag on the side of a commission I was working on, posted the result on my fb page and a few people said they wanted a copy. I thought I could do a bit of a better one and this is the result - with a bit of an Olympic twist.
