I drove down the Cotswolds yesterday morning to spend the day taking pictures with an old friend I'd not seen since she and I went on one of Jonathan Chritchley's photographic workshops. I was staying with Dom and Ed at The Golden Ball in Lower Swell, a delightful village just outside Stow on the Wold. It was great to catch up with JB and we did a bit of landscape photography before finding a lovely coffee shop where we had a good natter. A fabulous Sunday lunch was waiting for us when we returned to The Golden Ball, and in the afternoon we headed off to Burford Park.

The weather could have been a bit brighter to make the most of that amazing countryside and vivid Autumn colours but the smile on young Garth's face was enough to brighten up everybody's day.
