Many thanks Paul, I have some photos on my resizer and as they have been reduced their gallery pops up so maybe it duplicated the image on their setting, thank you for erasing it. Hope you are beginning to recover from your surgery (if it's over and done with)! Nice you are back online, take care now! Have a great week! I might start sketching some Swallows for my Memoir chronicle essays...Have been compiling a set of essays about where I grew up in Yorkshire and the market town has some history too so started writing a chronological set of essays dates from late 1700's and the Swallow birds that migrate to Southern Africa are my mascots!! Started sketching a swallow in flight so may post it in , birds are lovely to draw from reference photos! Nice to blether today and thank you for erasing that duplicate post, much appreciated! 
Good sketch Alan of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct  In Trevor not far from Llangollen.  Try walking a small dog over there who decides to do a pee...and yes there was some one underneath.j Like your stone cottage Gillian and your bowl of fruit Angela.

A Swallow bird in flight! I started this drawing late last year as am writing some chronological essays about a place in Yorkshire for memoirs! The Swallow birds are mascots that observe epics in the small market town and as they migrate to Southern Africa they record their observations while on their flight over the Atlantic flight path... They are the narrators for this story! This Swallow looks plump and he is the first to observe a great fire in the market town mid 1800's where a corn warehouse caught on fire and so he fled from the rafters of his nest in the church tower. .. the fledglings were miraculously saved from the fumes that ravished the air and a bell-ringer had rescued the nest so it was placed in hedge around the back of the church yard. The Swallow narrates it's tale on its flight path to warmer climes in Southern Africa... This is an illustration for chapter one...  Next the fledglings opening their beaks in the nest.. 
Some nice sketch done folks , that’s a interesting idea Angela . A  pen (fine liner )and water soluble pencil sketch might do his as a watercolour on day, the  paper in a white sketch pad that always show a tint of blue when photographed. Even more blue on here than in reality, the other sketch is my attempt at figures in not very good at then and from time to time have a dabble,
Thank you Angela I was back home Monday afternoon not doing very much other than a few sketches and planning several paintings. Hope to do more after Friday when I can take the arm support off and then I can move more easily, I will feel less of a invalid then  as well . 
Great to hear you are home now Paul and some terrific drawings too! Do take care now and rest up too 🕊️
All the best for your recovery Paul. Great sketches.
