The fields at Cotswold Lavender were just beginning to bloom the day we visited in late June. It was a breezy day, with big puffy clouds scudding across the sky, giving us alternating periods of sunshine and shadow.

England Sketchbook: Bourton Model Village
The Bourton-on-the-Water Model Village was a fun addition to our first day in the Cotswolds.

Sketchbook Journeys: Belgium
I returned from my spring teaching trip to Belgium and Croatia a few weeks ago, and I’ve been getting up early most mornings since I got home to work on finishing up my travel journal. I have a long way to go until I can close the book on that 3-1/2 week trip, but I’ll […]
