South Dalton

The quiet tranquil road lead past grazing horses, indeed, coming towards me along the road were two horse riders, heading for the nearby equine training centre. A rural scene. The trees planted along this road are magnificent and border the local estate of Dalton House. The quietude, no motor car noises, is unusual and bird noises seemed especially clear. Sudden, loud, honking sounds occasionally echoed around me a geese flew overhead. Above me kites circled on lazy wings as I painted. I needed two visits and today I was joined by a lovely friendly terrier, later retrieved by two people who had come down the road looking for her. Doreen would have loved this view.
