Over the fence.

Scaredy-cat! Stephen, how HUGE, is HUGE? Smashing sketch though, I like the mellow colour of the stone. Have the new owners started knocking it about yet, hope they don’t spoil the convent.

I thought that would be your comment Fiona! I always liked Spike Milligans comment in the war when an officer accused him of cowardice "I told you when they called me up, you don't want me, I'm a coward!" Luckily, the charity who bought the convent are keeping the exterior pretty much as it is. The flying beast was pretty big, I have heard some of the foreign hornets have drifted over here the last few years. I might add a bit of ink to this one.

That is ink to the drawing, not the Hornet, although I could perhaps spear it with a dip pen?

Lol.....poor hornet 🐝! Would look good with some ink Stephen, the sketch, not the hornet.

Like this Stephen but I think you should include the hornet!

Thanks Sandra, I think my hand would tremble too much. Have just added some pen work and strengthened the colours.
