I went to Tyneham village in Dorset today with the Broadstone Art Society. The village was evacuated during the war because the army needed the land for D Day training, the villagers never returned so it has remained empty ever since. The church and school have been restored but the cottages are derelict and the thatched roofs have long since rotted away. The forecast was for a hot day but it rained really hard a couple of times during the morning.

Amazing picture! My daughter and I have looked at all your paintings fantastic. We both look forward to seeing more
Thank you Phil, that’s very kind of you. Was it you and your family in Tyneham this morning?
It was, beautiful place.
Sorry my grammar was awful in the last comment. Yes it was me and my daughter who spoke to you, thank you very much for giving me your website.
