With a date in mind – all be it a long way off – I have started some new work while the sun is shining and the leaves are turning. 
I’ve started two of the views from the other side of the valley, down accross Market street with, what Hattie and I call, the Madeline houses (like the houses in the children’s book) and the stepped terrace up Heptonstall road.
I’ve also started two of Emily’s garden.
In the drawings for one of these with the large mill chimney I scribbled lots of birds and a nest. The other day, when Emily was clearing the ivy she found the old Blackbirds nest! Isn’t it a beautiful thing? (Before anyone worries, it’s been abandoned long since.)
