My friend Shady in California unearthed a whole pile of old photographs taken in England way back. Interesting images. He's thinking of donating them to a collection over here. Someone somewhere would probably recognise the people. I like the one with Blackpool Tower.

Time for a photo. Look at this great door. All that lovely flaking paint. The rusty handle. That green. Hmmm.

Palm trees in Ferragudo.

More oranges in a wee sketch book.

Orange grove near where we were staying.

This is the church in Salir in Portugal. It was a lovely hot afternoon.

Put the flags out....I'm back. Spent a couple of delicious weeks painting in Portugal. Once I get myself organised I'll download some photos and scan a few drawings.

Lunch

Lunch at Loch Fyne . What a treat.
