John Constable

I have still to master the skill of putting captions on the photographs. So here is the blurb for yesterdays's expedition. the photos( there are an additional 69) were taken at Flaford where John Constable painted his famous Landscapes, including the Haywain. My photo shows Swans in the water but his painting included draught horses and the haywain. The other photos show the lush meadows alongside the river. The day was perfect for photography and today (cup-final day) has also started bright and sunny. Had home-made steak and Stilton pie at Bruce and Nicol's last night. Nicola is the picture of health and extremely pregnant. Today we will be dining on one of Peter's banquets. A lunch time game of badminton is planned which will be essential given the level of food intake.
