Take a walk in the woods(and back by the river bank!)

Hi everyone! Sorry not to have been around to visit many of you lately I have been busy with family matters - including a hubby who is feeling neglected and is suffering with a bad back! 
I hope to be around a little more now although this is still going to be busy week!

My latest entry for Art Journal Journey is a simple one that I did while at the caravan the other weekend in a new journal that I bought at TKMaxx on the way there for £3 - I just had to test the paper!

I used my Inktense water colour pencils with my water brush.

I am quite happy with the paper (especially at that price!)

Last time I posted I showed you photos of our walk along the river bank…here are the photos of the walk back home.

From this point we had to walk along the road..

 …or we could have gone this way to Stockport!!!

 This gateway always looks lovely but is even better now!

 As you can see from the bottom of the railings this road was flooded recently

 Heading under the motorway...

 ….up the lane...

 …past the church...

 …sadly, not our church, which is a 20minute drive away!
I hope they mend the clock soon!

Finally on past the newly re-furbished Crown Inn, hubby had been sneaking a look, as I walked across the road the new owner invited us in for a little look before the grand opening! It looks very inviting and although we don't drink much alcohol, they have a range of special coffees and teas so I think we will be visiting as was very cosy inside! 

I will be linking to Art Journal Journey where I am hosting this time around! I hope you will be inspired to take part with the 'If You Go Down To The Woods' theme - there have been such wonderfully inspiring entries so far and there's still 9 days left!

Thanks for looking, Chris
