An afternoon of sketching

What a difference a day makes, brilliant sunshine yesterday and the garden looked lovely. But today, well, windy grey skies - making it the perfect weather to get out and doooo some sketching.

Not before time after such a lazy summer.  
                

I just love the meadow, it's full of wonderful plants for which we've forgotten the uses, like this ribwort plantain. Plantago lanceolata, it's quite a romantic name - for a weed.





meanwhile the girls are quietly scrabbling along the other side of the hedge, in hiding from foxy. And just look at that sky . . . . . .
