This is super Alan. What a gorgeous sketch. Where is Slitting Mill please?

Thanks guys, great to be back to my sketch a day routine. Julie, it’s a small hamlet about five miles from my place, I’ve cut and pasted this small piece.. Slitting Mill is a small village on the outskirts of Rugeley, Staffordshire. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 265.

Resuming my sketch a day routine, this was drawn this morning from my car. Rotring Ticky 0.2mm profipen and a Tombow marker. I’ll add another halftone and some white chalk highlights later.
