Another sketch of my home village, across the road from the castle. The lane is called "Aan de kerk"; obviously it leads to the church (dating from 1850).
I was told that in the 30's an aunt of my father had a café in the house on the left. As she was widow another uncle would be there every evening for protection; consuming free drinks. Untill he got so drunk, he had to be carried home. Family stories.

Beautiful coloring and rendering, Rene.
As RobC said.
nice, Rene! (I like also the "historical" story as well!)
did I mention I like it?
:)
thanks for your comment!
Thanks Rob and Ludek. I always like these little (family) stories, they add something to the drawing/sketches. It's oral history, I don't even know if it's completely true.
Wat een vooruitgang toch.
Bedankt GeertJan
Love the sketch AND the story.
Always great to come by here.
