A brilliant busy day at #UptonHouse yesterday and a gorgeous Brownsea morning today... Cettis singing in reedbed, grey wagtail along boardwalk, bh gulls in full voice and checking out nesting islands, and sounds of water vole along the diagonal path #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
Small painting in oil and gold on an oak panel in a gold frame. The Virgin has long flowing fair hair and wears a deep blue robe. She has Jesus on her right arm and holds an apple between finger and thumb of her left hand. Jesus, in a blue robe, reaches for the apple. Two angels hover above and behind Mary, in paler blue robes against a gold background. One (left) plays a lute, the other (right) a viol.
Madonna and Child: Gerard David c 1500

After breaking our journey at #UptonHouse, it didn't take very long to reach the #Fosse Way, then #Stow-on-Wold and back to #Cirencester through the usual lovely #Cotswold #countryside.
On our way home today we visited #UptonHouse, where the garden slopes down to a lake at the bottom of what would have been a dry valley. It's a beautiful place and we enjoyed viewing it.
