Avebury visit

Here in the UK we have had over a week of exceptionally hot weather for the beginning of September.  In the main I've been taking things easy and seeking shade and comparative cool.  However, on Wednesday I took a trip to Avebury to revisit the Manor House and garden, walk round the stone circle and make the most of the late summer sun.  I managed to find a sheltered spot in the garden to make a tiny sketch before taking a break for lunch at the busy National Trust cafe.

The Dining Room - the wallpaper was specially commissioned
from China and is hand-painted in watercolour!
