How very English.....

What could be more "English" than a quaint little village, complete with church spire and babbling brook? All very chocolate box pretty, but they do still exist - I grew up in one! We moved away before I hit my teenage years, and the place has remained frozen in time, as an idyllic place of long summer days and playing out late, and I could almost swear it never rained.....
Whenever I see any images remotely similar to "my" village, nostalgia steps in and frugality goes right out of the window, so when I saw a whole series of digis from Just Inklined, I bought just about all of 'em!
Fancied a bit of colouring, and fully intended it to be with Promarkers but somehow ended up watercolouring with distress inks.
Only one challenge to enter today and that is OSAAT - #78 use a digi.
