SHEFFIELD - Egerton Lane

My home city since 1962. There's not much of these old works left. Probably something to do with cutlery manufacture - can someone enlighten me?

WALES - Mumbles lighthouse & Caer Caradoc

I have such fond memories of this scene near my home town of Neath in South Wales - I'll be back there soon.

Spent most of today painting some hippos in a pool - not a great success - so this is one I did earlier. I shan't give up though.
