Phewwwwwwwww   back to normal again...well as normal as I can be.  We are settled in out new rented villa...I am staying put now until we build our new home. 
I am happy to be back into my art work...  Oh I hate those art withdrawels..   Nice to have the pencils back in my hands. 
i am at present drawing an old English home.  another Surrey house.  We took so many photo's or I should say Nev did.   He is the amazing photographer. 
Here is the first stages of my drawing .  Oh my I see a huge mistake... The window on the left is NOT right.  I will have a quiet work with that tomorrow.  LOL..

English Cottage


Thatched Cottage
Graphite Drawing.
I drew this from a photo we took while on holiday in Devon.
The Bishop’s House, Lower Street Chagford. Devon.
With its thatched roof, mullioned windows and added two-storey porch,
this is the most striking and best-preserved example of the earliest houses
surviving in the town dating from the early 16th century
