Sketching trip to Shoreham, Kent...

Enjoyed a lovely day out with five others from my local Leigh Art Group, strolling past a hop plantation through the fields of wheat and lavender along the Darent Valley Path, with the tree covered North Downs as a backdrop.

Even my scrappy sketch brings back to me the aroma of wheat and lavender in the warm sheltered Darent Valley.

I must have another attempt back at the studio at capturing the lavender at Castle Farm which was at its absolute peak...
