The venue was in the small Cotswold village of Todenham - the studio of artist Ann Blockley - who organised this excellent retrospective exhibition of her late father's work. In addition to the impressive range of paintings, we were able to browse through portfolios of John's superb sketches and drawings. It was an event well worth visiting.

We each managed to grab a few minutes for a quick sketch before heading to Moreton-in-Marsh for a lunch stop, a brief wander round the market stalls and a local art emporium, then a mystery tour of narrow country lanes as we meandered homewards. A really good day out.

| A very quick pen sketch of the dilapidated village pub. Some repair work was evidently being undertaken, but whether it will remain a community hub or become a holiday home remains uncertain. |
