A row of old cottages in the village of Tidmarsh, West Berkshire following a flurry of snow. Tidmarsh lies on the main road from Theale to Pangbourne and then on to Oxford - the A340. Opposite here is a C13th half timbered and thatched pub. The river Pang flows through the outskirts of the village and straddling this is the old mill, once the home of Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington of the so-called Bloomsbury Set. Further along is the C12th parish church of St Laurence. A textured image in the style of a pencil sketch.
