Scrumptious Cream Tea at the quaint Victorian Tea Rooms in Bradford-on-Avon, and an amazing walk to the Avoncliff Aqueduct, which carries the Kennet and Avon Canal over the River Avon. Really loving the Cotswolds!!! #tonyandsara https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHHBZ5I4ZM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kennet and Avon Along the Kennet and Avon Canal. I scouted this location last winter and noted it would be great to capture in autumn. So I did!

A Walk along the Kennet and Avon Canal, Bradford on Avon

Join me as I walk along the Kennet and Avon Canal from Bradford on Avon to Avoncliff and over the aqueduct. Take a look at the narrowboats, fine buildings and views on this route. This canal is now a busy pleasure route as part of the UK canal network. The towpath also forms part of the National Cycle Network and is route number 4 going from Bristol to London. Please do subscribe to my YouTube…

John Nash - Bath

The Kennet and Avon Canal in Bath was built between 1796 and 1810. Before the age of steam with the railways, canals were the main super highways of Britain. This Canal enabled goods to be easily transported between London and Bristol.

Many of the pictures in this blog post are dated 1927. There are a few painted and listed as 1926. Dating works by John Nash can be tricky, he often spent the summers making watercolour sketches with colour notes in his sketchbook so the works could be painted in oil over the winter. There is another complication when artists date work and that is usually because they are only dated when exhibited - sometimes the date when sold becomes the date of the picture. Nash just signed his paintings and so dates are guesswork.

Many of these were sold at an exhibition at Goupil Gallery in March 1928 with Gilbert Spencer and Neville Lewis.

Nash had been advised to work at Bath and Bristol by Edward Wadsworth when they were working together in 1920. Nash went in the summer of 1924 and again in 1925.

John Nash - Lock Gates at Bath, 1926

Above is the view today, of the picture below.

Roderick Jones suggested the picture below has a Cezzane feeling to it in the angles and lay out of the buildings but they miss Cezanne’s gradient shading and the colours are very flat. I think what I like about the picture below most is the canals were used and you can see the desire lines in the grass where people walked from lock to lock.

Another photograph above is of the view below. The watercolour below has the oil painting under that too.

The bridge pictured below is the Grosvenor Suspension Bridge. It was demolished in 1929 and since then the area has been built over.

New #TravelBlog post about our first day back in England. #travelmore #goexplore #lovetotravel #travel blogger #travelgirl #digitalnomad #vanlife #bloggerlife 🌍✈️🌍

Hello everyone. If you read my last couple of posts, you’ll know that we’ve left sunny Spain and are now back in (less sunny) England.

This will sound very odd, but we celebrated Christmas the night we got back. There’s a long story behind why we were having Christmas in March, but the short version is – my Christmas parcel ended up going halfway around the world, being declared lost, then…
