We can't go through these times in England without spending some hours in the pubs. I will miss them as this is something we cannot find in France.
Just a bus stop in the common:
Ealing Common
Walking down the green, and here is the Grange. I particularly like this place, winter and summer, it's been the 'rendez-vous' point in the neighbourhood. Very good restaurant next door as well, and feeling cosy.

Really close to where I leave, the Rose and Crown... These paintings are a tribute to a special friendship and very nice summer moments, spent enjoying the pub's garden, and English ale.

I moved to this quick drawing style during summer holidays, as I was doing some travel sketches. I found it really enjoyable to accentuate the drawing lines and the shapes with a black pen, as well as using stronger color washes... Just having the feeling this place is familiar, and that going there, I'll be meeting good friends.A warm note for this post, and wishing you a nice Christmas!
