Keep up the good work 🙂
Many thanks, I’m currently following the Gloucestershire Way for some more Cotswolds photography
Stunning photography, Quintin, we especially love the Seven Springs shot of the rapeseed field – the shade of yellow is really rather glorious!
Thanks, I’m quite new to the area and its a really distinctive feature of this part of the world!
