The weather was good. The buildings and gardens were beautiful. We had a most enjoyable day.

Portchester – 16/08/2017
A fine day. There were many visitors around both inside and outside the castle boundary wall.
St Mary Church Portchester was built in the 1120’s within the grounds of Portchester Castle. The caretaker of St Mary Church was such a nice man. He saw me sketching and offered to move his car from the front of the church without being asked. He told me the gate in front of the church is called lych gate and was used at burials for sheltering a coffin until the clergyman’s arrival. A bit of education.
Selbourne – 08/08/2017
Only three of us today. Apologise, if I have missed anyone. The weather was not great but nonetheless we have a productive morning before the rain getting heavy.
Farnham Castle 27/07/2017
The impressive mottle and shell keep was founded in 1138 by Bishop Henry of Blois. We had a brighter day this year than the last one. Photos by Tony Karavis.
Old Rectory 12-Jul-2017
Many thanks to the owner of the house for permission to access their gardens. Members had a very productive day painting in the garden. The day started with heavy clouds but blue sky after lunch. Unfortunately, I’ve missed some members for the photos as I couldn’t possibly find them in the various gardens.
Four Seasons Hotel 4-7-2017
Another good day painting at the Four Seasons Hotel. The weather was not too hot and not too cold. It was just right.
